July 27, 2017
Ricoh Company, Ltd.

In response to the recent WannaCry attack, the guidance from Microsoft is to apply a security patch on PCs and, as an additional countermeasure, to disable SMBv1 on PCs and servers.

Solution products manufactured by Ricoh are not affected by the WannaCry attack. Please refer to our announcement Impact of “WannaCry” ransomware on Ricoh products.
However, if SMBv1 is disabled on PCs or servers, it will prevent some products from being able to transmit data using SMB.
