Major Ransomware attack worldwide at the moment.

image.jpeg

looks like the world is being attacked by a very serious Ransomware virus.

so far UK, US, China, Russia, Spain and many more data's being hold to Ransom. its called WannaCry. and affects windows computers.

The infections seem to be deployed via a worm - a program that spreads by itself between computers.

Most other malicious programmes rely on humans to spread by tricking them into clicking on an attachment harbouring the attack code.

By contrast, once WannaCry is inside an organisation it will hunt down vulnerable machines and infect them too.

Some experts say the attack may have been built to exploit a weakness in Microsoft systems that had been identified by the NSA and given the name EternalBlue.

You've heard it folks, gaming is apparently for children.
Your inability to perceive context is amusing. What I said is blatantly right in your face, and it's totally not what you think I said.

Because Linux experts keep reviving it?
But you're here too.

Too bad that a few pages ago you wrote:

Eventually people grow up and learn that modern video games are boring and how silly of an excuse they are to keep Windows.

I'm honestly getting tired of your bullshit. I will stop replying to the rants of someone who keeps defending something he doesn't even use now.

I did say that. I didn't, however, say they were for children. I'm also free to defend whatever I like. I've defended Windows in this thread as well, but that was conveniently glossed over.

Oh man I can just taste the platform incompatibility.

Whisper in my ear all about those drop-down menus that only list Windows and Mac for supported operating systems. I want to know what it feels like for even consoles to have more games to play than your computer's operating system.
