Ransomware Attack!
#8
sanantone Wrote:The ransomware attack mostly hit older versions of Windows because they were no longer supported by Microsoft. The newer versions were already updated with a patch long before the attack. Microsoft has now created a patch for older versions. I know people are in love with Windows XP, but it's time to let it go.

Yeah, lots of huge giants in every field are exposed because they don't have a healthy change process and are just using old systems because "it works."

It works until it doesn't.
