Related: About this forumMajor soft ware alert for digital cameras, particularly
Canon.
Up to 20 Canon camera models are subject to ransomware. Makes sense as Canon has almost 1/2 the market but the vulnerability is based on code that is shared by a lot of manufacturers.
Log into support on your camera's website and look for an update or patch.
Got this from digital Camera world.
Be safe!

Or just search on Canon ransomware.
I haven't found anything on other brands yet but the vulnerability is Bluetooth/wifi interface so any camera with that capability may be in danger. Keep checking your Brand's home page/support.
