It's not as impressive as you may think

from Sup Forums

>likely it was released very recently and spread faster than anticipated

>how to not get:

>1) be behind a router that is not forwarding port 445 (99% chance yours is not)
>or
>2) if not behind a router, first kill yourself, then disable SMB or block port 445 in your windows firewall
>if you are on public wifi, i.e. college, then do 2
>or install the security update

I got this laptop in December of 2012

how screwed am I?

I' run w8 and also haven't updated since 2014. Just block the ports and you should be fine.

Your laptop will be farting data soon. Veeeeery soon.

>THE ENTIRE WORLD IS FUCKED
>thousand of computers

Bitch there's 320kk+ people in the US. This is just media hype. ur dum

what's a port?

delete-computer-history.com/block-ports.html
you useless twat.

>Veeeeery soon
>2012, win8 probably
>Implying it hasn't been all along.

the malware doesn't pop that screen up until it's done fucking you

it's probably too late

it's a win 7

>tfw applefag

So if my laptop with windows 7/8 was connected to a certain router and I didn't download anything I could still be infected?

PAY DEBNTS

Yeah, it doesn't alert you until it's finished fucking you over.

Not everyone is as computer literate as you. When there's a cyberthreat, these people want to make sure that their bases are covered as soon as possible.

>MFW when I use Mac
>Haven't updated past 10.6 either

Also
>LOL Buttcoins
Who falls for that meme?

at least it's kind to poorfags

Do you enjoy anal sex?

Rumor has it they left all PC's with CS:GO alone.

Pretty great.

? I'm computer illiterate. Perhaps the most complex thing I ever did was IRC. That page was the result from a simple duckduckgo search, and what I used to turn my ports off.

Hey, you can decrypt a couple files...

...FREE!

That's pretty nice.

if hit cant you just wipe your hardrive and re install another os?

No, I do not adopt your lifestyle britcoin bong.

lol true LMGTFY

Maybe this will be a good lesson for you kids.

Maybe you'll realize it's not a good idea to listen to this middle-schoolers on Sup Forums. Windows 10 is not remotely close to the Orwellian nightmare they presented it as. You could have been safe.

You can install the same OS because it will update. Windows did an update to fix this. I wasn't infected.

yes but your data would still be encrypted. Unless you have a backup, you'd still be fucked.

So your boyfriend enjoys anal sex?

What is daily backups?

Their "contact me" link makes me kek every. Fucking. Time.

One can simply decrypt the data.

We did it with my uncle when the funeral place upped their costs

my home and work computer both updated yesterday

>tfw applefag

No, I do not adopt your lifestyle britcoin bong.

>HAVENT UPDATED IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS.
I haven't updated my windows software since that whole windows 10 thing.

Am I screwed?

Hahaha the virus that effects old people and casual pc users. I love it.

>Contact Us
kek, they even have customer service

Even weekly or monthly backups would be enough for most people. Same with backing up phones. People keep years of data on their devices without the smallest inclination to backup the data.

Then why do you have a Mac?

600k

i think i read a screenshot that times out every 24hrs and then the amount increases

Give me your home address and I can make sure you are

...

They have to. Establishing legitimacy is the only way to get people to pay. If people suspected they wouldn't get their data back, they would never pay.

These ransomware people always make good, the scam wouldn't work if they didn't.

who here /shrugged off/ this and the lame google docs scam? Sup Forums only find this stuff surprising because they're ignorant and obviously ransomware doesn't work if they've resorted to targeting forklift operators

>$300 worth of bitcoins
>worth.
it does say the amount increases/doubles after a certain amount of time.

Yeah. And there's even a "Contact Us" button incase people have any problems or want to give them helpfull feedback.

Wait what seriously? Source?

cant we just follow the money to whoever did this?

kek

no it's $300 worth of bitcoins, come on they're not monsters

I backup anything worthwhile. one of my pcs is not geniune win 7 bought it used and poped up later. meh if it goes will wipe try linux agian.

>there are people who bring their windows machines onto public networks

That's the magic of Bitcoin user, the money goes into a big hole where it's mixed with everybody else's Bitcoins.

They got away scot free.

>there are people running windows outside a VM

can i get this aids malware worm thing through Steam?
I'm not on a public network and disabled SMB

the website/customer service stuff is where they probably screwed up at some point

oh right. hmm maybe crypto-currencies arent such a great idea after all

OP says it hit w10 machines too, though.

>AbsolutelyProprietary.jpg

2017 is making 2016 look like 2005.

We're in the cyberpunk anons, this is good shit. Just needs more neon.

Now the real question is, can the NSA be legally held accountable?

rare flag

Funny thing is, it probably spread out like this by mistake and the creator/wallet owner wants to kill himself now

>there are people that don't know better
Honestly, I'm kinda split on the whole win10 telemetry bullshit. On one end, it's 1984 meets Ayn rand advertising's company. On the other, at least they can forcefully roll out patches like this nonsense.
that being said, wasn't ETERNALBLUE one of the vulnerabilities Microshit smugly said they had patched long before the Vault 7 release?

are you kidding this is brilliant

hugo drax wished he could be this evil

This is where they are starting I'm sure.

>archived electronic conversations from over 15 years ago with IT guys talking about the dangerous exploit Microsoft introduced with that open port nonsense in Windows XP

The CIA and NSA play a long game. If you want real security you have to go back to Windows 95. The best Windows.

the scam only works if they save the private keys and can guide retards into buying bitcoin. they actually cuck themselves into doing poorly compensated tech support.

Could you imagine hitting refresh in your wallet after doing this and seeing 800 million dollars

How the fuck is it a Bitcoin virus? They're asking for a random in Bitcoin, which is completely different

Has the CIA ever been held accountable for Ted Kazcinsky or Vietnam or Iran or Libya or Iraq or Syria or the Cartels or...

It hit a company I know of a month ago.
It was triggered by a member of staff getting a message saying they'd won $1,000000 and clicking on it.
So - it's been known to be around for four/five weeks to my certain knowledge.
The company didn't pay because the autistiic IT expert and the on line literature about it said paying does NOT result in your files being unlocked.

*Ransom

I wonder if this will cause bitcoin to rally.

First it's not a bitcoin versu
Second I have ubuntu so jokes ok you my shit is encrypted. Even it is my computer is infected.

9front is the place to be for security user.

Also it's /ouros/

Wrong. The left all computers with Half Life 3 alone.

If this isn't reason enough to slash and burn the NSA's budget, I don't know what is.

The original buy back price for the NSA tools was 1 million bitcoins.

Shadow Brokers made good on their promise to give them away if nobody bought them by release day, like a month ago.

Anyone mind helping a computer-illiterate retard?

I'm still using XP.

Where do I go from here to block the port?

this is actually more likely to affect windows-based orgs staffed with computer illiterates using an old off-the-shelf cisco firewall (NSA exploits published)

think low level government targets. also remember that a program capable of encrypting files is also capable of reading them

>Dr Evil is holding the worlds banks and pcs hostage
Top Kek.

>Windows 95

That shit was dope. I remember all the hype for it. My neighbor bought it and he didn't even have a computer at the time .

There's shitloads of ransomeware, but some has been popping up in light of the release of leaked tools, which are being for further development.
A few weeks ago there was something similar targeting banks. Now this.

>Just yesterday there's the congressional hearing with the intelligence agency directors.
>Pushing the "muh cyber attacks are the most important thing" agenda for 2 and a half hours.
>Also huge push to be able to retaliate against "Russia or China" for "Muh cyber warfare" and how cyber warfare is the future and we're behind.
>Next day, this shit happens ironically not to America.

...hmmm really salts my almonds.

Use sandbox in windows. But you need to start using ubuntu

xp is secure user

so will all the British hospitals be super fucked now? those cheap ass bongs can't afford to pay for this decryption

ok kid

using deepfreeze measures will make the pc invulnerable to this shit?

The people that did it are fucked

Russia and Britain will find them easily

This better not fucking affect my ability to play videogames and masturbate to porn or I'm going to riot in the streets.

had it on my Gateway

>OpenBSD obsd..local 6.1 GENERIC#6 amd64
I'm with you pal but disease loves a monoculture

>are you kidding this is brilliant
not really this is probably going to lead to authorities cracking down on crypto-currencies because ransom seekers are bad mmkay and they are so now we cant have nice things like bit-coin because of this
