Keep your windows updated and this shit doesn't happen. Its not hard

Really? Didnt the NSA develop this exploit months before it was patched?

>>61110090

>>61110036
You don't need to use winblows to suffer from it's existence: airports and grocery stores are infected and customers affected by it.

>>61109962

>Why so many people keep using this shitty OS

government and education subsidies
tech illiterate parents

what surprises me is how windows has managed to stay closed source this long, you have something like the majority of the world's infrastructure running on this piece of crap and only Richmond, the NSA, and eurasian crackers knowing what's going on under the hood


>>61110090
yes, and if they were actually working in our security interests they would have preemptively white hatted any vulnerable systems they could get at


>>61110101

You aren't at risk of non nation states popping you if you keep your windows updated

>>61110139

Most of the symbols are public, there's a ton of information online, you just don't want to look for it

It's the user's fault.

Shithead logic. Also, daily reminder that Microsoft have enough money to make a proper and secure OS, but they never gave a single shit about users.

>>61109962
Windows belongs to virtual machines and no where else

>>61109987
How the fuck did the ATMs get infected, microsoft apologist shill?

>>61110262

also daily reminder that the amount of regular government contracts and subsidies Microsoft gets at this point its basically a government institution

your tax dollars are going towards funding a terrible proprietary os for gaymurs

>>61110262
Nice comparison. Sadly it doesn't make any sense.
Better one would be that they sent the cure free to every buyer and then the buyers blame the company when they don't use the cure.

>>61110090
it was patched in the march '07 update before wannacry became notorious because of luddites still using xp.

>>61109962
If everyone used linux malware would be made for that instead.

>>61110275
This, only a vydia manchildren would use that crap bare metal.

>>61110324

>>61110350
I said if everyone used it. If it linux had the kind of market share Windows has, then you'd have all types of users in the spectrum, which includes the types that will infect their machines

>>61110324
Not really. GNU/Linux is pretty safe, specially desktop distros.

>>61110416
Lol what does safe even mean

>>61110345
shithead

>>61110416
Any piece of software can be exploited. Linux is only perceived as safe because it's never targeted.

>>61110433
Nice argument you've got there.
POO IN THE LOO

>>61110469
>Any person supporting Windows must be a filthy Indian
Original argument you've got there, bud.

>>61110431
Install Gentoo and you will learn what safe mean. It feels pretty good.

>>61110436
lol? Linux systems are the most valuable systems, and they are being targeted 24/7. The reason why Linux is safe is because God-like programmers work on it. Do you even know what kind of programmers works at Microsoft?

>>61109962
How the fuck did you even get infected?

>>61110359
T440S FHD IPS + T450 touchpad is the redpilled choice

>>61109962
I use it for the viruses, obviously in virtual machines.

>>61110532
Are you implying that Gentoo has no 0day? Because it does
It isn't inherently more safe or unsafe than windows

>>61110585
>and they are being targeted 24/7
So are Windows machines. Practically anything with a direct connection to the internet is.

If linux is so secure then why does Android have anti-virus programmes available?

Viruses are great for people who don't know what to do on a computer.

>>61110704
You've convinced me. Loonix surely is the superior way. I'll nuke my Windoze machines and use nothing but Gentoo and Debian from now on, configured exactly the way you specify, master. And any time I see a Windows user I shall kill them in your honour, oh great one, for you have the superior intellect.

>Petya has been in existence since 2016. It differs from typical ransomware as it doesn’t just encrypt files, it also overwrites and encrypts the master boot record (MBR).

so if you're not an idiot and either patched for eternalblue or don't run random EXEs you're okay?

>petya overwrites the MBR compatibility layer and if you use GPT then you can't recover what's on disk
fucking lol.

just want to point out that there's nothing to prevent this from happening on linux (e.g. security patches released, users don't apply them, malware exploits vulnerable machines).

>>61109962
It's your shitty problem, like saying you crashed your car whlie drunk but decide to blame the company instead of your bad choices witch hole hardedly could have been avoided.Now your hold ransom by probably some skinny bit coin faggot in Europe.

Or I can just get a modern ThinkPad that has everything I want, minus the touchpad. Figured you were baiting, but there's no reason for a smaller laptop which requires me to hunt down bits and pieces from all corners of the internet just to fulfil the classic style worshipping sentiment of /g/.

Too heavy, too bulky, battery life is only just okay and I have no interest in making it heavier and bulkier with a larger battery. Newer T series solves this problem. Plus, there's also no IPS FHD option.

Fucking this. The only way to prevent this is to force every machine to update. Now, if only a software company would do that, then everything would be fine. I'm sure the knuckle dragging mouth breathers here wouldn't throw their toys out of the pram for a common sense solution.

>>61110020
>uses the same mechanism as wannacry
Did they not update security after the wannacry shit the other month? Did they expect people to not use that exploit any more or something?
Even XP got a patch for it.

>>61110997
Except that most Linux distributions don't have insecure and useless services enabled by default. I know Microsoft wants to telemetry the shit out of Windows users, but at what cost?
