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.

Yeah, I don't like to spend money on proprietary spyware, I prefer to spend money on guitar gear, at least I can practice something that will help me

How much did you pay for your 3DS?

Shiiiit.
Not sure I would LOL about it.
Last thing I would like is a cloud of fallout over Europe, yet again.

At this point I'm more inclined to believe you run Windows 10 S on a full-time basis and just want to sound "smart" (and stupid at the same time).

No, I didn't even knew Windows 10 S was released

I can't hear you

I blame the United States of Murica.
It seems that they need to blame somebody else than themselves.
I don't know why, but I still blame them
Who else's with me compadres?

The USA is filled with egotistical morons *cough* DestroyerXL44 *cough*

Lol. @Trashnux elitists once again, this doesn't affect Windows end-users so spread your trolling and fake news elsewhere. Some non-technologically firm companies will have to deal with that potentially when they don't update their systems, nobody else. So no, because of that nobody will drop Windows in favor of some other OS.

So you're saying that it's "fake news" that this ransomware infection is happening, and in reality all these companies aren't getting hit?

 

[BullyWiiPlaza]

So you're saying this ransomware infection isn't happening?

No, I'm saying what my post says if you knew how to read so re-read it.

No, I'm saying what my post says if you knew how to read so re-read it.

This definitely affects end users.. Don't know how you think otherwise..

Oh right, I remember you now. I shall now disregard your posts because you don't have a clue as to what you're talking about, and probably think "GPT" and "MBR" are evil Linux things made by your precious college students or something.

No it doesn't when you update your OS, duh. People need to inform themselves. Plus, if you still run like Windows XP you clearly don't care that much about anything. It doesn't affect updated Windows 7/8/10.

Because it already was one.

The only ones turning this into an OS debate are those who are too insecure in their own choice of software to not throw a temper tantrum anytime something like this happens.

Wrong, it *does* affect updated Windows, and for a simple reason I explained earlier. If a single unpatched machine on a corporate domain gets infected (or a patched machine gets infected in other ways, e.g. email), the ransomware then gets access to credentials that it can then use to spread to other machines on the domain, even if they are patched.

I actually thought this was another wave, but then I saw date and I'm like:
OH yeah this post, where are the windows/Linux master race kids complaining?
