I assume the attack on Telefonica was due to an employee opening an attachment which then can apparently infect every computer on the same network. I don't think this will affect and customer accounts directly although it's possible the scammers may have access to account details.
I would hope that a company such as Tef will have backed up everything on a regular basis so fixing the problem will be as simple as reinstalling the last backup.

I ran virus, malware and CryptoPrevent checks when I heard about this but all returned zero defects.
Win10 updated midday and since then my laptop has returned to normal performance.

Reports here in Spain say the origin of the attack was China.

This morning I had to make a unexpected trip to our local NHS Trust. All online systems were down. All I hope is those responsible for this cyber attack have relatives who are requiring treatment today!. Our hospital had no access to patient notes. Blood results. etc etc etc. All notes were written by hand and unless you were fully cognisant of your own illness and treatment you stood no chance. Sickening idiots I hope they rot .

The money the NHS have spent on their IT systems over the years beggars belief (All 5 years behind the times) However any death of those requiring urgent treatment today .....IS to do with little sh**s who thought it would be great fun to cripple the only system we have. Remember this also happened in Spain. I'm sure they don't use Windows XP
