Global Ransomware 2.0

Another day, another great scale global ransomware attack.

Are you ready for cyberapocalipse?

Why aren't you on Ubuntu yet?

another attack FeelsGoodMan

>Why aren't you on Ubuntu yet?
Give me a good reason to use that shit.

lel...

Religion of peace,

Good luck. I'm running an Apple II e with a 300 baud modem

Because Mint is the superior entry level distro.

>Ubuntu

So you can learn it's incredibly easy to infect unix systems with viruses, backdoors, ransomware, etc.. and prove all the "micro$hill can die im using free etc etc xd"

Tandy TRS 80 checking in.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

>Encounter one problem on Linux
>Fix it
>Create 10 billion new problems in the process

Linux is a never ending mess and it should die, along with its enablers. The only version of Linux I'll use is blackarch or blackbox. Your Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Knoppix etc all that shit can be nuked from orbit and then salted with acid and then raped to death. Like you!

Now fuck off.

Can we at least condemn this a little?

why?
I was not attacked by some niggerware

Who exactly is coordinating the attack? Or is it just a whole bunch of disparate criminal organizations just hitting whoever they can?

Implying this is not strictly for Ukraina by the Russians

the cyber?

The Danes and a few others got hit.
Most likely the US government and they are going to try and blame North Korea, even though they don't have the brain power to do this and only have polystyrene rockets.

Why the US tho ? Its so obvious its the Russians this time, look at the bomb car in the same day in Kiev

besides gaming and video editing, Debian is the best.

It's not them, they have been hit by this too and they got hit with this last time and the narrative was to push blame on North Korea.

They are shifting the focus of Russia hating away from them and pushing it on North Korea. You watch the news, they'll start saying "It appears the attack originated from North Korea".

Just you wait.

>block 1 port
>tell retarded employees to not click any .exes
>"attack" completely castrated

Alright m8, we will see.

What would be wrong with hating NK, again?
>a shitty commie dictature
>does literally nothing but throw shitfits its entire existence
I'd volunteer to kill commie norks.

It's just a prediction based on what happened last time. They are an easy target and the American war machine is banging the drums.
I don't really care, I'm bored and want a good happening, we never get a good happening. Fucking boring world.

The vast majority of cyber crime targets the fact that most people are either stupid, lazy or both. For some reason no matter how many times you tell your workers not to click on .exe files or plug in a usb stick that hasn't been approved or go to dodgy websites they still do.

Seriously almost every single "hack" I've ever seen doesn't exploit any vulnerabilities within computers but rather the morons using them.

keep believing that and stay under your misinformed rock bro

I want a fun attack to happen, why are hackers so boring and mundane. Create a bricking virus that fucks computers up permanently.

The damage that could be done, the fun to be had. Stop being greedy money grabbers you cucks.

Oh and our government got hacked recently and all their emails and shit is being sold.

MONEY IS THE ROOTKIT OF ALL EVIL!

I'll assume you are not trolling, give me another information or some logical reasoning that will conclude something else, its not necessary to be the opposite of mine, but just give a logical reason of some sort.

I am not believing in anything, I see facts, look up info and try to be as objective as possible. And ofc, even tho mass media is a scam mostly, I look them up for patterns as well, they sometimes (even tho they mislead ) spill the beans in the right direction, you just have to dig up more.

Ofc, USA has bigger $$$ and more brain power for such an attack, but I can't see the deal for them, whats the end game for series of events like that ? On the other hand you got the Russians that hate the Ukrainians right now, and they live in poverty so a cyber attack like the last one can actually benefit them.

I agree, this would be way more fun.

You do realize that, being a black hat hacker that is capable of such thing, or group of one in that matter you need to have a lot of knowledge and experience in the field, dedicate time and money at least.

You risk your life as well, depends where you live.

So you got to be a real zealot to do it for the keks, and keep in mind that you are lured by the opportunity to sell that info for really big coins.

What is the possible outcome ? If you have such an abilities, and you live in western nation you are most likely making 150k+ starting USD / year and have secure job and benefits for the rest of your life, you have kids, wife and all in all good standard of living, no time for shit like that, and no intentions to ruin your life or your family's one.
So you either work for the government that wants to espionage other governments and businesses etc. or you are a zealot from some poor country that has access to the internet and there is no way for you to make that much money working 9-5, and there is nothing that can happen to you if you get caught, coz of corruption in your government ... and you do it.

My friend I know, you don't need to explain it to me. I'm just here to vent.

Relax.

I am baked out of my mind right now, and Im sperging all over the place, sorry.

Pretty much. The normie guide to keeping your computer safe:

1) Use a pop up blocker like uOrigin.
2) Don't visit sketchy sites, browse for porn on your phone.
3) Use an anti-virus and anti-malware
4) Keep your computer up to date.
5) Don't take any links through email even from family. Check email on phone.
6) Don't download any applications from non-trusted sites.

Done. If there is any type of malware that is able to get into your computer without you fucking up or a zero day attack that can get into Windows or Apple or Linux even with you keeping your computer up to date, then just chill the fuck out and watch as every fucking person in the world is hacked along with you.

Even the big attack recently was just because those fucks hadn't updated in a month. Everyone that did was safe.

So much this.
Its too expensive and time consuming to hack you if you are just a neet that have 250 USD in your debit card.
