Computer virus on the loose

idk but how do we protect ourselves from it?

>>61111973
Don not do what you are not supposed to on a computer.

throw away every computer you own

Just another ransomware attack. There isn't much to make of it other than that. It will be over soon enough―they all are.

As for protecting yourself, the best way is to switch to an unaffected OS; the next best way is to consistently back up your data, so if your device is affected, you can just wipe it and restore.

Hmm, maybe if they took security seriously they wouldn't have this problem.

I say let them burn

Kek, that's what you get for using outdated PajeetOS.

It's pretty obvious that the Internet is heading down the same road as CB radio; rendered useless by idiots.
Libtards will say that wilful vandalism is OK until it happens to them.
The Kewl Kids will boast of their pissy exploits and idolize the guys who claim to be responsible for the chaos, when we all know it's governments.
The rest of us will have to find new ways, much less convenient and way more expensive ways, to read 4chan.
