The WannaCry ransomware attack, which impacted more than 230,000 organizations in over 150 countries within the last week, has raised the level of alarm on the issue of ransomware.

The cyberattack represented a new type of threat by combining a computer worm with ransomware, cybersecurity researchers told CRN.

"WannaCry is different from anything we've ever seen before in that it's a union of the old and new," said Haiyan Song, senior vice president of security markets at Splunk, in an email to CRN.

The attack also elicited advice from cybersecurity experts on how to protect technology infrastructures from such an attack.
