International crime-fighting organization INTERPOL has teamed up with cybersecurity firm Kaspersky to declare WannaCry’s third anniversary ‘Anti-Ransomware Day.’ bWannaCry, notorious as the largest ransomware epidemic in history, reached its peak on May 12, 2017. Recent research by Kaspersky confirms that three years on, WannaCry retains the dubious honor of being among the most prevalent ransomware families causing trouble around the world. To raise awareness of this ongoing threat, both INTERPOL and Kaspersky have dubbed today Anti-Ransomware Day and urged organizations to back up their data and adopt relevant security protections.
