WannaCry Ransomware

I think fuck the NSA.

Huh? What are you talking about?

>implying the goal wasn't to put BTC in the news again
WannaCry is the only reason why 1 BTC is $2200, so if the criminals were holding a lot of it, they may have made much more than $122k

Literally do not care about garbage like this which will never affect me.

>>60668193
The hacker group has promised monthly releases of similar 0day exploits that can be used for ransomware. It's only a matter of time until shit REALLY hits the fan and BTC shoots even higher.

Nothing will change. It's cheaper to get crippling malware than it is to upgrade the infrastructure.

CIA will probably assist microsoft in patching the currently-unpatched exploits.

Normies have the memory span of skyrim NPC, they already forgot about "le epic haxxor attack", mostly because nobody uses a fucking wincuck computer anymore,

You also forget where this was literally nothing. It affected like 2 users of a Windows 7. That was three versions ago.

Didn't a few people die in the UK when their socialist hospitals got fucked up?

>>60669448
Does it even matter? It's not like they're white.

>>60668138
>what does /g/ think of long-term implications of WannCry and other ransomware?
Nothing.

>>60669448
>UK hospitals
They were hypothetically already dead.

>>60669448
Link?

>>60668138
>$300
Why? That's fucking idiotic. That's way too fucking high. They should have lowered it, then they'd probably have made way more.

interesting conspiracy theory. proofs?

Maybe some sysadmins will get their shit upgraded, other than that, probably nothing.

Win7+ users were fine.
