yea, but this ransomware spread is hitting government PC instance.
sure we, who aware such PC security won't take this issue serious, but imagine of a govn. instance with all public data got this on their server.

If a government gets its systems infected, they are doing something horribly wrong. Even more precise, I know certain local government departments where they still happen to run WIN XP on their systems -- how dumb is that? Main reason is that they try to cut costs as much as possible. And the government isn't the only entity using old and unsafe software to cut costs -- it's a wide spread problem that effects the business economy as well.
