What wave? There was a single attack? That's not a wave :)) .

"This ransomware was first seen by Wordfence being used in a single attack attempt on July 7th."

This is the worst virus you can get and very costy if you pay the hacker to recover. but take note its only a partial recovery as several files becomes corrupted once the decrypter decrypt the files back to their original.

make sure you use Wordfence OR itheme security, the only 2 plugin that will stop it.
