Abstract
FedEx Corporation, a global courier system, Russian criminal investigation agency and a top mobile operator, Megaphone, United Kingdom healthcare centers, worldwide banking services have come under recent malware attack during massive WannaCry Ransomware attack wave (Associated Press, ABC News 2017). Nowadays our society is successfully going towards tech savvy mode. This is very positive step towards growth, but at the same time our infrastructure relies on technology as well as computers. A threat to the computing system has become a threat to the society. There are four key threats to consider like Spam, Bugs, Denials of service, malicious software, etc.
