Kill Switch Although some companies have claimed to have found a kill switch, this is nothing more than PR as the so called “kill switch” is only activated by modifying files on your own system (which can be done to stop most malware) and is not doable remotely like the WannaCry was. Furthermore, as stated above it’s unlikely the Perya ransomware is still spreading and the damage has already been done, thus a kill-switch would be futile.
