A massive cyber attack hit 200,000 people in at least 150 countries on May 12, 2017, and is already infecting computers in Australia.

The ransomware named WannaCry, attacks computers around the world using a security flaw in older versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. It will then lock access to user files and demand money to decrypt them, usually in the form of a virtual currency such as Bitcoin.

Top 6 tips to help you prevent Ransomware infecting your computer:

1. Backup your computer immediately
2. Immediately patch your Windows with the recently released fix
3. Update your operating system
4. Steer Clear of suspicious emails and websites
5. Use a firewall
6. Don't pay if your computer gets infected
