Re: WannaCry Ransomware Extorts 39 Payments Worth 6.49 BTC – TODAY
Microsoft released patch on March 13, 2017 to fix this on all supported OS versions!

This means, people who pay ransom are noobs and:
a) never did a backup. Just one image of C: drive plus rar/zip whatever, of data drives, per MONTH would have been needed (at 20% of the cost, for a nice Acronis or Ghost imaging tool)
and
b) badly neglected Windows updates or, even worse, use unsupported old Windows version
I look at it as a penalty for stupidity....
WORST THING IT MAKES BTC LOOK BAD!!!
