SapientCoach WannaCry Ransomware Decryptor
​WannaCry or Wanna Decrytor ransomware is an informatic virus that attacks Windows operating system based computers primarily (including servers) by taking advantage of system vulnerabilities exploited by Eternalblue, a tool believed to be developed by the USA National Security Agency.

The system will show you a Popup window letting you know that your computer is infected, all your files are encrypted, and for you to recover it all, they require a ransom payment using bitcoins.
