Over the past weekend, a ransomware called “WannaCry” has made severe damage to more than 230,000 computers in over 150 countries. The attack is due to loopholes in the Microsoft Windows Operating System. When infected, it will encrypt data in the infected computer and also spread to computers connected over the network.

In view of the overwhelming adverse effect of the ransomware, many schools has stopped their network in these few days but still not sure whether it is a wise action. AiTLE, therefore, in hand with EDB, HKCERT, Microsoft and some other professional partners, will launch a seminar to echo the issues. The info of the seminar is as below :
