*You wake up on a Friday morning in May 2017, ready to spend the day catching up on your favorite games and chatting with friends online. As you sit down at your computer and start it up, you notice something strange – a pop-up message on your screen that you've never seen before. It says, "Your files have been encrypted. Pay $300 in Bitcoin to get them back."

Confused and a little scared, you try to open your files, but they're all locked. Panic starts to set in as you realize you've been hit by the WannaCry ransomware attack that's been all over the news. You remember hearing about it, but you never thought it would happen to you.*
