are you all memeing about linux gets infected by wannacry or is it possible?
is macos safe?
>>60380574
Nothing is safe, anon. Prepare your anus.
>>60380574
Anything is possible in a world so seriously strange...
Not likely, you'd have to specifically try to infect yourself to get it and even that wouldn't work for sure. Idk about macOS though.
>>60380574
Gentoo is the only safe OS. Install it immediately.
>>60380574
If you are not a retard running flash as root, you are safe.
It's not possible, but OSX and Linux aren't immune. This should serve as a lesson to keep your shit updated no matter what OS you're on.
This >>60380623
Also back up your shit!
>>60380599
then it's like any other viruses on the play ground, the point i don't understand is how people are getting infected. are they normies who don't know shit or is it something more serious?
>>60380682
It is a bit more serious than that this time. But people could've avoided it for sure.

A month ago someone on the Gentoo forums was hit with it because he ran firefox as root.
If you run firefox/thunderbird in a sandboxed mode you'll be mostly safe
WannaCry was defeated with $10.69

>As he worked to reverse-engineer samples of WannaCry on Friday, MalwareTech discovered that the ransomware’s programmers had built it to check whether a certain gibberish URL led to a live web page. Curious why the ransomware would look for that domain, MalwareTech registered it himself. As it turns out, that $10.69 investment was enough to shut the whole thing down—for now, at least.

There isn't any real sandboxing under X11 though. We need wayland, asap.
>>60380751
There are others out in the wild which aren't tied to that domain name.

>what's firejail
>>60380832
That's why he said WannaCry you retard
>>60380931
It is possible to get out of any sandbox through X11 features.
