Once the virus gets into the computer, it locks all the papers and asks the user for money to unlock them. At first, it asks for $300, but if the user doesnt send the money in 72 hours, the price doubled, Papers are locked forever if the user doesnt pay in seven days.The virus has brought bad results. For example, in the UK, the virus left the countrys National Health Service in a mess. Some hospitals had to cancel patient appointments（预约）, reported The Telegraph. In China, the virus has hit thousands of computers, according to Qihoo 360. One of the most hard-hit groups in Qiu were university users. Many students graduation papers were locked. They felt nervous and frightened. Also many gas stations were seriously hit, and the payment system didnt work.WanaCry is the latest example of the cyber security（网络安全）problem. Matthew Hickey(who set up the security company Hacker House) said, “The attack is not surprising. It shows that many organizations do not use updates（更新）fast enough.” According to a survey, nearly half of the people said, “ We are not satisfied with the way software updates work.”As China Daily wrote, “We cant completely protect our computers against these kinds of viruses, as this cat and mouse game will continue forever. The best choice for most users is to take care online and always install（安装）software updates.”36 .
