South Korean electronics maker LG is reportedly the latest major company to be hit by ransomware WannaCry.
The WannaCry first released in May of this year, is a form of ransomware that exploits a vulnerability of Windows which has already been patched by Microsoft shortly after its release. Microsoft during that time, released emergency patches even for Windows XP in an effort to protect users. So those who managed to update their systems avoided the risk. 
However, this has never happened with LG systems, and it appears that a self-service service operated by the company in South Korea has been infected with WannaCry.
At present, it is not known how many computers were infected on the LG network, so the company decided to disable some of its systems to prevent the spread of ransomware. LG has announced it will not pay a ransom.
"We analyzed him malicious code that caused delays in some customer service centers on August 14 with the help of KISA [Korea Internet & Security Agency] and we confirmed that it was indeed ransomware. According to KISA, yes it was the WannaCry ransomware ", said a company representative.
LG has managed to restore all affected systems in less than 2 days, but it does not seem to have identified how it was infected by ransomware.
On the other hand, what is certain and known is that computers infected by WannaCry were not updated with Microsoft's latest updates.
