>>61109003
It's called being stupid and not understanding the risk of running networked computer systems. I'd bet that most of them never even heard of wannacry. Companies really don't put resources into prevention since that affects the bottom line tomorrow, and as a CEO you can be prosecuted for not looking after tomorrow's bottom line.

It's almost as if unfettered capitalism is self-destructive. Take this as a little lesson in human behaviour- if you don't see it coming it doesn't exist.

>But if you're running an old linux system
"Braindead" applies here. If your kernel and packages are no longer getting security patches, it's time to upgrade. And there are tools for automatic updates, e.g. unattended-upgrades in Debian and its derivatives, which is safe for stable distros, and for critical environments you should have some method of kernel livepatching in place.

>>61108964

Well good news for the non-braindead, MS17-010 is literally the code for the patch.

works really good on linux if you have wine

I can't help wonder how long it'll be before some end result of a failed abortion develops a strain of ransomware that instead of encrypting files or whatever, it... ugh... downloads CP (ugh) until you pay for it to stop.

...and the long term ramifications would be even worse.

>>61109772

>>61109772

What's worse than downloading CP onto your computer is if it forces you to finish a bullethell game with zero death to unlock a single file, and then keeps making you play those games until you unlock them all. And you only have 99 hours to get it done.

>https://gist.github.com/vulnersCom/65fe44d27d29d7a5de4c176baba45759

Since it uses a mix of EternalBlue, PsExec and WMI it won't need EternalBlue vuln. once it has infected one machine, after that it's up to PsExec and WMI to fuck up your network and other devices. They use the office vuln. bypassing macros, quite sophisticated if you ask me.

>>61110169
It uses unpatchable Windows pass-the-hash weaknesses and in-memory lsass queries to spread. Windows is bad security to its core. Windows 10 fixes some of the issues (credential guard mitigates some of the lsass issues), but most are still present.

>>61110259
>They use the office vuln. bypassing macros, quite sophisticated if you ask me.

That was a false initial report from a different malware sample. This outbreak doesn't use the macro bypass vuln. Just EternalBlue/PsExec/WMI

I doubt that being first or third world has anything to do with this. Stuxnet targeted Windows computers that contained Siemens' WinCC control software designed for Windows. I doubt that Iran is the only country where they use Siemens' software for Windows to manage places like nuclear power plans.

It relies on people opening something that they shouldn't to get started. Afterwards it can spread itself through the network using vulnerabilities. That's also why you could see something like >>61108683 where all point of sale machines are encrypted. It's probably next to impossible that all cash register personnel opened up spam emails on the computers and highly unlikely that even one did.

>>61117998

It's not crippled or restricted in most meaningful ways, and it's not a toy at all. You can't rice it, but you can do basically anything else on it at this point. You can edit RAW photos, and you can edit video using programs that fall closer to FCP than to iMovie. You can draw, handwrite, and annotate in a completely natural way across the entire system and almost any app that could conceivably benefit from it. Word processing is there, spreadsheets are there, presentations even programming is there. Remote access tools for desktop-class computers are there, too, in case you need access to them in a pinch, and they're damn good. Microsoft Remote Desktop over LAN is barely distinguishable from local at first glance.


Oh, and it has games too. I have Icewind Dale and KOTOR on mine. It's legit as fuck.

On top of all this, it comes in at half the price of a comparable Mac.

im a winfag only because the shit i like to use is win only. I would gladly move to a linux distro if i could. Albeit i have never used any distro for more than a day, i just dont know linux shit really at all. If anyone can convince me how i could switch id listen. My thought was to use vmware player on linux and have it it run windows 7 for the player bit so i can run win shit on occasion but do browser shit in linux which is a large other part of my shit i do.

>>61118120

Not worth your time / only free if your time is worthless. Get a Mac -- with the only end-user Linux distro people actually care about -- and call it a day. You can get (read: pirate) Parallels Desktop for it, which is an incredibly turn-key and well-integrated Windows VM. You barely have to know anything to use it.

>>61118140

Well, if we're being fair, you should probably take into account the fact that the vulnerability in question only really comes into play if the user installs sketchy binaries. They can't just drive-by you like they can on Windows. Also remember that Time Machine is a thing, and that any Mac user worth his salt will have a rolling remote backup of all his shit, thus reducing the impact of ransomware greatly.

Here's another fun one: ATM malware that adds an extra undocumented $20 to every withdrawal. Everyone who uses it gets a little extra, courtesy of the affected financial institution.

Nobody benefits any more from it than anybody else, and the person who made the malware doesn't benefit at all. It basically means there's nobody to blame or go after for anything, largely because not demanding anything means there's no paper trail.

Many industrial settings have security only by not being connected to anything, and the hardware being so old that no user wants to try and use the computers for non business work.
