It's the final push to make me switch to GNU/Linux.

>>60362557

Why would they release a security only patch for the vulnerability on Windows 7 then?

This will be the push for yet another BS audit full of paper work and circlejerks. I'll probably get asked to have meetings with lawyers planning our legal liability issues out.

What we will not be doing is getting rid of Windows XP.

>>60362737
>MICROSOFT ALLOWED THE RANSOM ATTACK TO HAPPEN ON PURPOSE
You retards need to all be put down for your own good. MS patched Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 back in March against this.

In fact, they actually just released patches for Windows XP, Server 2003 and Windows 8 - despite the fact they're no longer supported.

What are you talking about? Patch Tuesday was this week. It went off on time.

This vulnerability was patched back in November. How is /g/ so densely packed with so many fucking retards?

>>60362808

I don't understand this kind of thinking. It's a fucking hospital; it exists to stop people from dying. Some hospitals could not fulfill their only function because wangblows belongs in the trash, and people died in a fucking hospital because of this, but people are still unwilling to abandon it?

>MICROSOFT ALLOWED THE RANSOM ATTACK TO HAPPEN

Well, that makes sense as a matter of business strategy.

But I'm sure the lawyers nixed that idea. The legal risk would be too high. If caught, it would cause a Deepwater-Horizon level of corporate financial catastrophe.

The funny thing about the lawyers is that they're sometimes the only force within the company for doing the morally correct thing -- because the morally correct thing sometimes also happens to coincide with what's legally prudent.

>>60362737
You forgot the part where the NSA released the tools on purpose.

NSA and Microsoft are in collusion to get people to upgrade because Windows 10 is spyware, they don't even need to use exploits to spy on you when you use windows 10.

This is the true red pill.

>>60368430
No it was Hillary and the librul globalist sjw cocks.

I disabled updates on w7 when telemtry shit from w10 found way to w7, can someone link me the exact update i need to stop this ransomware?

>>60368507
I'd like to know this too.
Also am I safe if I just don't open any .exe email attachments? What's the infection vector?

>>60365379
They only did extra work on server 2003, since they still have to support POSReady 2009 and Windows Embedded 8 Standard

>>60368525

>>60368525
>am I safe
No. Just having malware in a temp file or cache may cause RCE. Also attached files may appear as .doc, .pdf, in fact anything. You must apply the MS security fix, at the minimum.

>>60368625
You probably forgot to uninstal windows store.

>>60362737
You haven't figured out shit
>A day after a ransomware worm infected 75,000 machines in 100 countries, Microsoft is taking the highly unusual step of issuing patches that immunize Windows XP, 8, and Server 2003, operating systems the company stopped supporting as many as three years ago.

>>60368525
>infection vector
the file is a 3 MB exe, but you won't see it like that. The vector is human stupidity, for example, leaving port 445 open to the internet, not updating security fixes, connecting to networks that have Wannacrypt while your PC is unpatched. And that's just for this strain, others may use different exploitts.

>>60362737
You are wrong
There are millions of pc running windows xp, like ATM, its cheaper to pay $$$ for m$ for windows xp support than change whole infrastructure, because new os would require hw update.

Not only atms, but also billboards, e-kiosk, digital information boards etc.

Billons of pc, hundreds companies paying m$ big $$$$ for support windows xp.

m$ is making more money from windows xp now than when they were selling it

Daily daily reminder that lincucks are a vocal minority on /g/ trying to push their shitty meme kernal

>>60362737
That's why M$ allowed a NSA backdoor in their OS and leaked it to haxxors.
Smrt.

>>60372760
On /g/ Linux users are the majority.

Super majority after this ransom ware.

>>60372760
Even if that is true, which it isn't, that would only be because of stupid /v/ wintoddlers thinking they know anything about technology because they prefer a stupid dragon dildo brand.

>>60372760
You are delusional most of the posters on /g/ use Linux or at least baby steps dual booters.

You can't correct for selection bias with those shitty polls because a lot of people aren't going to use it.
