Highly effective windows “back-doors” and worms, collected and developed by the NSA and US Government, somehow stolen/released to hackers who are now using them for mayhem.
Any investigations going on how THAT happened??
Nope, didn’t think so.
This is way cool.
If your computer gets locked up due to this ransomware,
you can just download this software and repair it ...
Oh.
Wait.
Never mind.
If you are updated to Windows 10 and use Microsoft Defender, they did the update and patch in March.
Defender is the best. HP techs get all the computer security they want for free from any vendor. The HP techs all use Defender, none better.
The reason this malware exploited so many computers, particularly foreign computers is that nearly all of them are using a bootleg copy of Windows that they don’t register and then don’t get free security updates.
The something for nothing crowd.... OK, what did your piracy do for you now?
I have no sympathy, anyone that got infected largely deserved it because they are not keeping up to date, are stealing software, or are too cheap to buy an automatically updated security software.
