        How many servers got affected because of Wanna cry virus?How all handled the situation without drizziness?

        Servers? Ouch, that'd suck.

        Not affected here. User training, plus white listing of files in temp folders on Windows has kept us from being hit so far Knocks on the nearest piece of wood.

        White listing is easy when you just don't allow anything to run from any temp or browser cache location 😉

            Don't you need to click on something or run it to actually get infected? Why would you allow such activity on servers? No email or web browsing should be permitted there, period.

                Easily can happen from bad admin account practices, too.

                  SW has a number of people getting infected, and more that know of people getting hit.

                    Zero issue here. We also have port 445 and 139 closed at our firewall way before last Friday.

                      Lol, that explains it. Facebook or Whatsapp users aren't the brightest, so if it's IT professional posting about their infection there, no surprise they got owned.

                        @Tim_G and I were on a thread in the last hour of some guy who has now decided that his "mission critical no downtime" servers need to start getting patched.

                          He's talking about where he's heard OF the infection, not who is affected. He's just interested since he's not been hit, to see if any of us had and what the attack looked like.

                            Huh. Never mind that the highest up time environments actually schedule updates and reboots reasonably. That came from skunk works people that ran a true HA environment back in the 90s. Yes, they were allowed to talk about the compute environment, but they never said where, who, or what they worked for, just how.

                              Yeah, I'm thinking that this guy doesn't know what mission critical is. If he thinks his servers like that are mission critical, my laptop would blow his mind!

                                I was in the process of writing an analogy comparing that to patching holes in a submarine... but it started to get so cheesy I deleted it LOL.

                                            One Windows 7 desktop which was unmanaged.

                                            Everything else was fine.
