Microsoft issues ‘highly unusual’ Windows XP patch to prevent massive ransomware attack | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 74869764  Spain05/15/2017 04:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | MalwareTech @MalwareTechBlog Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74896532 A lot of reports that people have paid the ransom and not gotten decryption keys. The system looks manual which is impossible to scale. You can see exactly how much BitCoin was sent up till now. The ransomware contains three Bitcoin addresses: [link to blockchain.info (secure)] [link to blockchain.info (secure)] [link to blockchain.info (secure)] Total BC transactions: 227 Total BC received: 34.191 Which is worth roughly 55 thousand dollars. Needless to say sending BC to these people is futile. Do not do it. You will not save your data. |

They probably would have got more. But word got out that they are not delivering decryption keys as promised. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 74896165  Canada05/16/2017 09:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you're using Microsoft anything you've always had the potential to be watched. Sitting there bragging about XP and admonishing win 10 is amusing, you should be on linux if you're doing illegal stuff you don't want someone to know about otherwise using microsoft you already lost the game being played. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74799873 Glad this gaming rig I purchased from Digital storm came with win 10, best version of a microsoft os yet and I've been on MS products since win 95. Absolutely no network issues with older devices seeing win 10 which has always been MS Bane. The simplified menu's and everything easily located on those new menu's plus you can still right click start for all the old menu's, from what I see is a bunch of lame complaints from people that have never used win 10, because once you do you won't go back to any other inferior product. And oh you turn off all that Orwellian spying stuff you're so concerned about, i'm sure the NSA and CIA are interested in your masturbation habits. Spoken like a true Microsoft employee.  I quit a high profile social media site because funny stuff began happening to my computer after I posted a couple of articles from mainstream sources no less regarding "untoward" behavior by politicians to put it kindly. The NSA and so on obviously are not interested in what you are looking at on pornhub or some cam site (though even there you never know, lol, probably for their own jagging off). However most traffic is monitored passively with keywords triggering more intensive monitoring. The next stage is keylogging where they monitor while you are typing and you will notice your keyboard going all squirrley on you. Somebody and by that I mean an AI not a live person becomes all the more interested depending on what you do next. |
