Reports of Fake WannaCry Ransomware are on the rise according to the U.K. cybercrime agency Action Fraud. The agency has issued a warning to the public about the rise in these types of fraudulent activities, where ransomware takes over a system after an unsuspecting user falls prey to a good looking phishing site.

People and organizations need to be careful about being lured in by convincing URLs and emails that just looks and feels the same.”]
