WannaCry is Still Dominating Ransomware (axios.com)
An anonymous reader writes: WannaCry, once the greatest cybersecurity calamity in history, now doesn't work. A website critical to its function is now controlled by civic-minded security researchers, and the fixed deadline to pay the ransom has long passed. Yet WannaCry still accounts for 28% of ransomware attacks -- the most of any ransomware family. According to a new study by Kaspersky Lab, the defanged North Korea linked ransomware is still spreading uncontrollably. The spreading mechanism that passed WannaCry from victim to victim that was so virulent in the 2017 attack is still active, even if the ransomware itself isn't. The firm discovered that since the WannaCry outbreak in May 2017 has affected 74,621 users across the globe.
instead of paying the ransom for anything you are infected with, see if there is a GoFundMe campaign with a ransom for the developer's fingers and tongue instead.
Every time, *EVERY* time, I hear about any ransomware victims, especially organizations, my first though is "sure the downtime sucks, but you do have versioned backups....right?", not response..."RIGHT????"
I mean how doesn't?????? If you are an organization that doesn't you need to fire all of you IT staff, and higher anyone with half a brain.
Monopolies are bad! This industry needs compet~ ^`# g&' NO CARRIER
Table-ized A.I.
from the hoopla I thought it would have been in the millions.
And that's the biggest one? With all the media frenzy about ransomware attacks, I would have expected a much higher number. Millions at the very least.
...5, 4, 3, 2, 1... you are infected with no one to pay.
Have you considered that by always responding you are inviting more of the same?

I'm only a problem 4U Mr. UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous - I'll run you dry of downmodpoints & outsmart you as always, loser... obviously I've RUN YOU DRY of them already (& if not, I will, inevitably & I WIN, as always).
* ... & you KNOW it.
(YOU? You do ALL you've ever known how to DO in your WASTED LIFE (especially vs. me) - LOSE).
APK
P.S.=> Unbelievable - trying to play "victim" like the PUNK you are giving me that BULLSHIT? I'm not the one spamming on hosts OFF-TOPIC - they are & I'll beat them @ it until they SCREAM for mercy (I have before & will again - their 'downmodpoints' are FINITE - my ability to REPOST to nullify bogus downmods, isn't (FAR from it))... apk
I don't have to spend modpoints, all I have to do is entice you to act like a fool and an army of volunteers show up and waste modpoints on your nonsense. I WIN AGAIN.
ZIP
I don't off topic.
Says the guy posting off-topic trying to sell his APKware on a thread about the WannaCry malware.
Go fuck yourself APK, and maybe learn to contribute something actually useful instead of wasting everyone's time. YOU are the problem, not c6gunner or anyone else.
Sorry, all I heard was "blah blah blah, I'm a dirty whore".
Making implied threats against ZIP, I see. That's at least as much of a threat as Zontar's postcard that said "behave yourself", which you've been whining about for years. It's like you're permanently enraged and can't stop to see how toxic your behavior is or why nobody likes you.
LMAO: Knew it - ZIP = "Run, Forrest: RUN!!!" vs. https://it.slashdot.org/commen...
* Do-NOTHING zero w/ nothing to show for yourself says he's a BETTER programmer? Where's HIS work even /.ers like + 100,000 or so users worldwide too like MINE is??
ANSWER = it's not.
APK
P.S.=> CodeSigning the CHIMP ZIP 'championed' was STOLEN & ABUSED (My method can't be) & the FOOL said he "schooled me" on how to stop C++ buffer overflows there in the link I posted?? IMPOSSIBLE - I posted it 1st & from the GET-GO to raymorris (ZIP the CHIMP douchebag WEEZIL came in WAY after)... apk
Hey ZIP - who came up w/ the C++ fix 1st here (where YOU said you did & multiple times in your post history) https://tech.slashdot.org/comm... ?
* I DID YOU LYING PITIFUL NO SKILLS (or accomplishments you can show & I can (folks like & use MY work https://it.slashdot.org/commen... NOT your "hotairware" that doesn't exist - lol!)

You do-NOTHING all talk fucking CHIMP loser... lol!
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO DO SO PRIOR TO IT there in that debate - mine was 1st reply to raymorris cluing him into C++ bufferoverflow possibles AND HOW TO FIX IT!
I used ObjectPascal which HAS NO SUCH ISSUE (length's built-into strings).

* No, "been there/done that" vs. WHIMPS impersonating me before - & I always come out on top (that's what I do - they don't - all they KNOW how to do in LIFE is loser - they're losers, do-NOTHING "ne'er-do-wells").
LOL - You've downmodded this 2x & all my other replies - DID THAT STOP ME losers? No - no WAY whimps like YOUR KIND ever will, lol...

P.S.=> All "outta abused downmodpoints" too I see - lol, told you I'd RUN YOU DRY of them, lol... apk
Blame those impersonating me. I only post on hosts IF they stop threats OR to speed you up. I don't off topic.
I've got my own "psycho fanclub" IMPERSONATING me & spamming + lying about MY work (I don't post about it unless it applies to STOP THREATS or SPEED YOU UP) STALKING me constantly by UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous posts like whackos!
Especially GOOFS like c6gunner CAUGHT IMPERSONATING ME https://linux.slashdot.org/com...
(His name's on that post link as the SUBMITTER yet signing "APK" as I do while he ALTERED users words of praise of my work (since he tried INSULTING me & I simply issued a FAIR CHALLENGE to him that HE SHOW HE CAN DO BETTER - he hasn't to date & NEVER will (wannabe))).

P.S.=> Hosts can stop portsmash (blocking downloads of it) "You basically have to already be able to run your own evil code on a machine in order to PortSmash it." from https://www.theregister.co.uk/... not Spectre/Meltdown AFAIK (but it's POSSIBLE it might but NOT TOTALLY SURE here (vs. say, RPC using them which would be REMOTE vs. LOCAL as in portsmash above) per https://meltdownattack.com/mel... &/or https://spectreattack.com/spec... ACADEMIC RESEARCH into their mechanics ) - & U FAIL a PORTFILTERING TEST https://yro.slashdot.org/comme... ... apk
See how STUPID "ZIP" (Zach I. Patterson) CHIMP is (taking credit for what I solved before him) https://tech.slashdot.org/comm... (he needs to LEARN TO READ)!
I even SHOW ways to do it YOURSELF https://tech.slashdot.org/comm... (he couldn't).
Delphi/FreePascal/ObjectPascal HAS no issue w/ null-term'd string bufferoverflows - C does, C++ can UNLESS you do what I said 1st loser.
