1000hrs Monday 15th May 2017
In case you haven’t heard, a new exploit called WannaCry has been spreading across the internet since Friday. It’s ransomware that encrypts files and asks for money to recover them. As this time no-one knows if paying the ransom will actually recover your files.
Impact on Projectfusion
There is no direct impact, however if your systems are infected and you use a ‘drive map’ or the Projectfusion desktop client on a Windows PC to map Projectfusion to your systems, then there is a chance your data could be infected.
What we’re doing
As of 1020hrs today we’re scanning our estate to see if anyone has been affected.
As a precaution we are also disabling the WebDav protocol that enables users to mount Projectfusion like a network drive. We’ll re-enable this on request.
What should I do
Make sure you’re machine is up to date with all the latest patches applied.
Help I’m infected!
Don’t worry! We keep all your files backed up. If you’ve just lost a few files you can go to the trashcan and get them back. If you need to recover a few thousand files then please contact us and we’ll sort it (or you can recover them one at a time if you have a lot of time to spare!).
