Re: Ransomware, the best thing that has happened to Bitcoin

This is disgusting.

Scammers are scammers, they can be avoided.

But just brutal hackers like this virusing PC's is just horrible.

We need a better operating system, windows is just a pure crap that can be exploited in so many ways.

Well, I heard that linux is pretty safe but in my country not many people are using it because people find it strange to use it Sad

Well personally, i never use linux in my whole life before so i don't know how it works Roll Eyes

Linux can be safe but it isn't 100%. If the adoption rate grows, criminal would be targeting linux systems too. The reason that hackers target windows is because of its widespread adoption. I personally use Windows and it is much more familiar to me than Ubuntu.

Correct. Agree completely. Windows is a very good system. Has about 30 years of life and development. Cannot be wrong something with this life and with an army of developers, programmers and various staff (making hundred of kind developments connected with it) who work continuously to improve it. There are update every month and new versions every about 5-6 years. I think that cannot be another os better than it. The only reason of its problems is that is very spread in all the world and is target of everyone who want to see the value of itself.

A more prominent issue is that most do not care about updating it at all. Windows does have a license key and some companies don't have enough funds to upgrade their computer and hence are exposed to exploits if Windows does not support it anymore. Linux however, are more opensourced and are free.
