    The reasons for changing are blindly obvious to anyone with even a small amount of tech savvy. This is a web forum not a used car lot and I have no need nor desire to convince you of anything. I laid out the obvious reasons if that is not good enough for you than I could care less. If your business gets hacked and you loose revenue because of it then that it is on you.

    Mother of christ, you moron. It wasn't "fixed" by disabling SMB1. All that did was stop SMB1 working, along with any apps people are still using that need it.

    , in your case you would have probably download a 200MB setup file to run that fix, you ignorant fool
    I would imagine you doing that while every else installed the 665kb patch. You're not very bright are you?


    you should know most are lab cases or Proof of Concept that never make it to the real world, that's how the whole industry works
    Yeah...... Because hackers always publish their lab cases and proof of concept, don't they?

    Fuck me, you are gormless.

    Your business must be pretty tinpot if it hasn't done any kind of risk assessments.

    And it's pretty obvious that you aren't insured against losing your IT systems, because no fucker would insure that shit.

    Yes, very tinpot, amazing we've stayed afloat so long with such tinpot practices. Thank god I came on this forum and learned exactly how tinpot we are. I just hope the clients can forgive us while we rush to buy the latest desktops with Windows 10 installed. The internet filled with all the world's experts sitting at home doling out expert consults all for free has again proved it's more than just an outlet for free porn.

    Nicely dodged.

    Not.

    Next you can tell us how you don't worry about fires because you've never had one and you have a fire extinguisher.

    Go outside and play some ball. Sitting at home trying to fix an over hill contractor's business short comings is no way to use your weekend. That's a real tinpot way to waste a good Saturday afternoon.

    I do believe that you were the smartarse that came here ignorantly stating that upgrading from Windows XP was a waste of time.

    Now it seems that you have no real argument other than "well I've never been hit so it must be OK".

    Perhaps you should pop off and have a lie down.

    Friendly sort are you? A friendly moron.

    A huge number of PCs still use ancient Windows software that puts them at risk

    While it’s unfair to assign all the blame for the massive “WannaCry” cyberattack to any one specific party, at least some part of it comes down to people and IT organizations simply not upgrading their PCs.
    The ransomware exploited a security hole in Windows XP, a 15-year-old operating system that Microsoft stopped updating in 2014. Despite its age and obsolescence, Windows XP was still used on more than 7% of PCs around the world as of April, according to NetMarketShare datacharted for us by Statista.
    Microsoft released a patch for XP on Friday that addressed the exploit. But that patch came two months after it issued similar ones that fixed the same flaw in more recent versions of Windows. Those who hadn't installed those patches before the "WannaCry" outbreak now have another reminder of how crucial it is to stay up-to-date.
    To be sure, it's understandable why people might not be running a more recent version of Windows — updating equipment costs time and money. And there's blame to go around. Microsoft's practice of discontinuing support for older versions of its operating systems leaves those still running them vulnerable. Meanwhile, as Microsoft argued, the government's practice of stockpiling exploits and kee
    ping them secret makes it all the more dangerous when they're leaked.

    I'm still wondering where he got this horseshit from.

    He's not very good at answering directly when put on the spot.

    You can get a Win10 Pro key on ebay for like $4.
    An office pro key for about $10.
    Virus protection is free with Windows Defender on Win 10.

    These are not huge costs.

    If you don't know how ICT works then the learning curve of upgrading or hiring someone to do it for you is the only price.
    Most people can do it themselves or at least find a mate who will do it for a box of beers.
    Some people think it don't, but it be.

    Buttplug, don't you have a modem to install or something? Your rubbish is of no use here.

Could be everything you are saying is correct , on the other hand , over half the people running businesses have decided the same thing as myself. The numbers support my decision. All you have is Google links and hours of posting your MS induced opinions on web site forums. I' still havent seen your experience proving XP as a threst to business. So, tell me about your latest office technology expenditures you've made this month and how big a bite did it take out of your revenue. As I said earlier, my office tech costs are near zero and have been that way for years.
    he was 2 when XP was released, probably never used it

    not it's not, you are just too retarded to question this because all you know to do is press "like" or "upgrade"

    most of those security patch are not needed, it's silly PoC lab shit in a sterile environment that never makes it in the real world because impossible to replicate

    case in point, when there is a real security hole, it's too late already for the patch, they catch it AFTER, not before

    nobody is using SMB1, disabling it by default is all you need, patching the software is for the insecure retards like you who don't get it and need their patch download to feel safe

    how little and insecure you must be,

    you haven't proved your case, you silly Millennial shelves stocker

    you are so superficial that you think patching with huge download of bloatware shit is going to protect you from hackers, how more wrong could you be, but again thinking is not your strong

    that's the problem with the majority of IT retards out there, they are dumb down to a point they feel the urge to press "upgrade" every time there is a warning popup on their desktop. Do they even read the full description of the security patch ? of course not, it would be too complicated and hurt their little feeble brain

    Oh dear, looks like Buttplug believes this nonsense.

    I know he's a pathetic troll but I hope people aren't dumb enough to listen to his horseshit.

    From the Security News thread:

    Kaspersky found that 29.4% of user computers encountered an online malware attack at least once over the course of the year

    Plenty of other sources for people who wish to keep themselves informed Buttplug.

    Obviously not for imbeciles like yourself though.

    you are the imbecile pressing the "update" button every time it popups on your desktop, dumbo, without even reading or understanding what it really does

    "Update" is like the "Like" button on Facebook, it was designed for idiots by idiots
