WannaCry 

WannaCry is a deadly piece of ransomware that started spreading like wildfire threw the internet on 12th May, 2017. The virus works by encrypting a user's personal files and demanding that a $300 ransom be payed in bitcoin in order for the user to get back their files. If no payment is made within 3 days, the ransom rises to $600. If the user doesn't pay the $600 within 7 days, all their personal files will be lost.
A typical message you might get if you're infected with WannaCry is: "Oops, all your files have been encrypted!"

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
