Indian businesses, organisations and financial institutions largely escaped the impact of WannaCry malware attack, though India was the third most affected after Russia and Ukraine. According to Kaspersky Labs, India is the third-most impacted country after Russia and Ukraine. "We have confirmed additional infections in several additional countries (apart from the UK), including Russia, Ukraine, and India," it said in a report. Kaspersky has recorded more than 45,000 attacks of the WannaCry ransomware in 74 countries around the world, mostly in Russia. However, large enterprises will majorly be immune to this attack as they undergo periodic audits, which forces them to update their OS regularly," he said.
