Microsoft does not want a repeat of the WannaCry case and wants to protect us from Petya with a security update
If you like to be informed, surely you have read in the written press or seen on the news a few days ago how the fear of a new case of attack by _ransomware_ The shadow of the attack caused by WannaCry is long and still lingers in the collective subconscious.
The person responsible for this new wave of panic was a new _malware_ that, under the name of Petya, tried to repeat the success that WannaCry half achieved. In the end, the damage was not so much, something that, however, has not called into question Microsoft's decision to release a security update to protect their computers from Petya
He already did it in his day with WannaCry, even launching patches for systems that no longer had to receive it and now he repeats the play with Petya with the idea of launching a new security update. An update to combat a _malware_ that Microsoft says is more complex than the original Petya
"The update seeks above all to protect computers with Windows 7, the most affected version, since it must be remembered that those with Windows 10 will see how they receive in the Fall Creators Update an improvement that in the form of a controlled or limited folder is integrated into Windows Defender and seeks to tackle these problems."
This system seeks to separate the different environments and create closed and delimited sections. Separate system and personal files from network folders to prevent infection by _malware_ threats.
In addition, to avoid greater evils, Microsoft has already thought of the modus operandi to avoid future attacks as far as possible. To do this the company recommends having our operating system updated and so that we don't forget it Windows 10 will offer reminders so that we don't forget that we must install the latest update
