India might have escaped the worst of WannaCry, the ransomware that affected Windows-based computer systems across the globe over the weekend, said experts on Monday. Industry, however, was on high alert to avert any attack.

The ransomware, first detected last Friday, locks down computers and demands a ransom to unlock the data stored in these systems. It had affected about 150 countries across the globe, with Russia and the UK being the worst affected. India, too, reported a number of cases of computers being locked down, including some computers of the Andhra Pradesh police. 

The Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) said few incidents of the attack had been reported in the country. “So far, the impact of this ransomware has been reported in… England, Russia, Spain, Germany, USA, and some academic institutions in China. Very few reports come from our country,” a CERT-In official said in a webcast on Monday.
