    SECURITY UPDATE: WANNACRY RANSOMWARE

    Hi ~okeanos users,

    There is a rather dangerous ransomware, the WannaCry / Wcry / WannaCrypt ransomware, that has been spreading since Friday, May 12. The ransomware takes advantage of the MS17-010 vulnerability that affects Microsoft Operating Systems.
