Just heard this on the radio.
Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files.
The ransomware causing chaos globally - BBC News Keeping up to date. Well, some do and some don't.
From the article.
In this case, a patch to close the bug has been available since 14 March but many organisations have clearly failed to apply it in time.

I guess regular system images should enable you to recover your OS partition. I also guess data drives and partitions are are only as safe as the last backup. Don't keep system images on connected data drives!
