​US hospitals

There are no specifics on which US hospitals, or how many, were affected, but a Forbes source provided images of WannaCry on the screen of a radiology machine. Bayer, the manufacturer of the machine, says it received reports of infections on two of its radiology machines at different facilities.

FedEx was hit bad enough that it actually reported interference caused by WannaCry. What that means is anyone's guess--have you had any package delays due to the ransomware attack?

​Russia

Banks, telecom providers, the Russian railway system, and even the interior ministry were all hit by WannaCry. Word on the extent of the damage to Russian computer systems has been unsurprisingly nonexistent, but it's been bad by most accounts.

​Universities in China

Over 100,000 computers in several Chinese universities were frozen and locked. Why was the number so high? An estimated 70% of software in China is bootlegged, which opens the door for attacks.

Japanese electronics maker Hitachi admitted it was a victim as well, but the impact was reportedly minimal.
