    This is all over CNN. It has affected Russia the most (imo they deserve it for messing up the 2016 election), UK hospitals, and Fedex in the US. I don't know much about anywhere else. Im on Windows 10 and I didn't get any updates. However my PC keeps crashing...is this because of the cyber attack?

    I'm interested to see what other kind of attack Windows could undergo, aside from a cyber one :p
    Also I clearly haven't been paying attention to the news at all, because I had not heard of this.

    Well, the windows could shatter if you threw a rock at them.

    I haven't updated windows for like 3 years.

    Just don't download random crap and you won't be attacked.

    Windows 10 could be infected as well, but the recent patches pretty much negates anything now.

    Still worth it. Only issue for me is recording software, but that's pretty much it. If you just want to be safe and have the Mac OS, you can go buy a Mac Mini.
