Information Security Awareness: Patches, WannaCry

As you’ve heard, one of the biggest reasons WannaCry ransomware was so successful is that many people do not patch their devices. What is a patch? A patch is a piece of software designed to update a computer against known bugs or vulnerabilities. Patches apply not only to computers but also to phones, DVRs, or anything that requires software and electricity to run. If you’re prompted to update software, please do it right away. While you’re waiting for your PC to go through upgrades, don’t be perturbed; be happy. Someone in RITE cares about you.
