>      According to numerous open-source reports, a widespread
>    ransomware campaign is affecting various organizations with
>    reports of tens of thousands of infections in as many as 74
>    countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Spain,
>    Russia, Taiwan, France, and Japan. The software can run in as
>    many as 27 different languages.  The latest version of this
>    ransomware variant, known as WannaCry, WCry, or Wanna
>    Decryptor, was discovered the morning of May 12, 2017, by an
>    independent security researcher and has spread rapidly over
>    several hours, with initial reports beginning around 4:00 AM
>    EDT, May 12, 2017. Open-source reporting indicates a requested
>    ransom of .1781 bitcoins, roughly $300 U.S.  This Alert is the
>    result of efforts between the Department of Homeland Security
>    (DHS) National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration
>    Center (NCCIC) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
>    to highlight known cyber threats. DHS and the FBI continue to
>    pursue related information of threats to federal, state, and
>    local government systems and as such, further releases of
>    technical information may be forthcoming.
