You see this notification on the Trend Micro Home Network Security app:
"SambaCry Vulnerability"
Why did this happen?
A device vulnerable to a ransomware attack is detected in your network.
What are its risks?
- It could execute arbitrary code and take control of the full system.
- It can cause a SambaCry Ransomware attack that can encrypt your files, which may require you to pay the attacker in order to recover them.
- It allows attackers to drop malicious files and execute code on your devices.
What should I do next?
- Install the latest firmware version on your network device. Guide me how.
- Disable the network file sharing service (SMB) if you are not using it.
- Disconnect the vulnerable device from your network if you are not using it anymore.
What if I have more questions?
