Hello Steemians

A new virus named as “Locky Ransomware” is affecting computers globally. We need to say alert from this virus with great force. This virus can lock our computers & gets access of our files eventually taking control of our system and asking ransom in Bitcoins to give us access of our data back.

After WannaCry and Petya, Locky ransomware is being spread by cyber criminals via emails. We may receive some fake emails containing pretentious documents or images which on downloading or accessing will affect our systems & we unknowingly will fall in the trap!

Few of the important links which may help us to protect ourselves are being shared below.
