WannaCry Ransomware

Background

BD is monitoring the developing situation with a large-scale ransomware attack that is affecting healthcare facilities across the globe. The "WannaCry" ransomware encrypts all files on affected computers and demands the administrator pay a ransom in order to regain control of those files. If affected, healthcare providers may lose access to patient files and experience major IT disruption and delays. At this time, we are actively monitoring the situation and working closely with customers to ensure the appropriate measures are taken to help safeguard our products.
