UK hospitals hit hard by ransomware today. Anyone else?

It´s called "Ransomware" ;) Want some samples :D

@ttomovcik thanks for the spelling correction. I think I will pass on the samples though 😀

just seen this on the news. Looks like some boys and girls have been a bit naughty.

The authors provide a "decryption service" only they provide.

Make sure your patches up to date and isolate any portion of your network impacted. This might be a wider issue than U.K. today.

I am hearing 57k infections worldwide.

74 countries. devRant breaking news. Nothing on SO but we have wider scope here.

FedEx from reports I am getting

March 14th Windows 10 patch addressed this from reports I am getting

@elcore correct!

That's why I think MS wasn't so wrong with forcing updates on Windows machines
You should explicitly want an obsolete and vulnerable OS for * reasons and you should know it is that way.
My dad doesn't want updates because they "slow down my computer" and then something like this happens
Because lazy dumbs decide it's better not to have the last security patches installed!
Note: this isn't referred to devs and network guys that need machines with old software because reconfiguring them would take time that isn't possible to have or compatibility or whatever.
However, they should be aware of how dangerous​ such machines are and protect adequately
😁

Someone help me get Google Chrome. My grandson recommended it. And what is all this vulgarity, I'm reporting this.

Can somebody help me find the report feature. My grandson said that if I report you to CEOP the police will arrest you.
