If you do not rush to update M.E.Doc and do not use the OUTLOOK mail service, Petya is likely to pass by.

There has been no proof as of yet that email is a delivery mechanism.

Quite a clever way for Russia to cover up a massive cyber attack on Ukraine in a way they could argue was "Ransomware."

Although as usual the rest of the world isn't have as dumb as Russia thinks they are, and their bond-villain-esque plot was once again uncovered.

If you realize this, you weren't the intended audience. These charades by Putin aren't meant to make you think he is innocent. They are meant to make the yokel Russians who keep him in power think they are once again being attacked by the evil, invading West.

If you watch state-sanctioned news sources in countries like Russia, Turkey, North Korea or Venezuela, you'd think Western Europe and the US were plotting an invasion of the entire planet and force-feed everyone McDonalds and croissants.

Little do they know we haven't had leadership this weak across the West since Chamberlain.

You are totally clueless in regard to all the recent attacks.

LoL.
I had an "I told you so..." situation last night.
One of my customers, wasn't budging on upgrading few of his field laptops and office machines from WinXP to at least Win7 (even though some of those originally came with Win7Pro).
He explained his lack of motivation by having "great IT staff and a bad-ass firewall/gateway", and that some of his specialized software does only work on XP.

And last night I got a phone call with an outcry of panic:

That humongous 17" monstrosity is his secretary's laptop - just one of the infected machines. Comes with an equally heavy 120W power brick.
Took it home for maintenance. Got a nice arms workout on the way home :rockout:
