A major ransomware attack, which hit servers across Europe and the US, has reached Australia.

On Wednesday, Australian Cyber Security Minister Dan Tehan issued an urgent warning to small businesses to update their cyber security.

Hobart’s Cadbury factory has been affected, with its parent company saying they are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

Cyber security journalist Stilgherrian has told Ross and John if you see the ransom message, shut your computer down and call for help.
