Apple users are also vulnerable to WannaCry-type attacks, says cybersecurity expert

Aleksandr Yampolskiy says it's a common misconception that Apple is not vulnerable to cyberattacks.

"It happens that this attack is targeting the Windows computers,"
he says.

On Friday, a cyberattack hit thousands of outdated versions of Microsoft Windows computers.

Even Apple is vulnerable to massive cyberattacks like the one that just hit thousands of victims in at least 150 countries, a security risk management expert told CNBC on Monday.

The comments came after Friday's global ransomware attacks which locked up computers running outdated versions of Microsoft Windows in car factories, hospitals, shops and schools in several countries and demanded money from users.
