miamiwhite Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Is it because there is going to be a comeback in Swedish comedy? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLX Haha, More likely due to its links to cyber security. Here's a very recent trading update. http://www.investegate.co.uk/falanx-group-limited--flx-/rns/trading-update/201705040700091219E/ Worth keeping an eye on next week due to today's events.

MalcolmW Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 surely nissan arent on xp, as it is reported much of the nhs is? If a Nissan dealer was still on XP but connected into Nissan UK's network, maybe that could have provided an entrypoint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted May 13, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 13, 2017 surely nissan arent on xp, as it is reported much of the nhs is? I doubt it, but some conpanies will only run on systems that have been through a thousand and one processes, which possibly means they are years out of date. They certainly won't install latest updates from MS regularly. As I said, this is alleged to target Samba. You would be running Wins 10 and an ancient version of that, or whatever else the vuln is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiggyStardust Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 surely nissan arent on xp, as it is reported much of the nhs is? the version of windows is largely irrelevant in this. Think of it as this: It doesn't matter how new your car is, if its radio can receive FM then you could be affected. Or in this case, If you have a windows machine that has the capability to read files stored on another machine (which, unless specific setting have been disabled, they all have), and do not have the particular March 2017 patch (which wasn't available to xp machines until today anyway) you could be affected. & Big Business does not patch machines, they can't afford the consequences of doing so. They also can't afford the consequences of not doing so. The solution of course, is that the machines should be airwalled away from the public internet.

e2e4 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) how this got stopped by someone registering a previously unregistered domain name being pinged in the code and that triggering it to self shutdown is funny. some anti theft things work on that principle (ie, cant dial home anymore, then turn on siren) cant say i remember the opposite being true. 'shit lads, we've bin rumbled. delete fucking everything' it fucked up more shit than the miles too hyped Conficker virus ever threatened to do. :lol: cia leaks make benefit of glorious soviet gangsters.

birch-chorley Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 My precious company was huge, yet the systems they ran on where so old Problem was that they were so big with so many systems that updating everything so it's compatible with the latest gear was difficult Your constantly behind Can imagine it's the same for the NHS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2e4 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) i dont even know what broke , but these places that still use windows xp can pay microsoft for extended support. the hmrc bypassed even that by using software made by ex-microsoft (ironic) people called browsium. christ knows what it does (probably some sandbox or virtual machine style stuff) or if its relevant to the nhs or this ransomware, but youd think theyd at least be aware of it. anyway , i wouldve thought that if MS patched it for windows 7 8 9 10 four months ago that theydve patched xp for those that do pay for extended support at the same time. and that patch wouldve eventually leaked to piratebay or whereever for everyone else. hohum , hindsight is 20/20. i stopped using it ages ago , but i dont have 50,000 computers wired together like nissan or the nash do. some american hospitals got done by ransomware (all around the same time) a few months back. different virus but same style encrypt-threaten-to-delete thing. the average joe aint gonna have time to figure out what a bitcoin is - never mind getting some , might as well ask for the moon. shame for normies that just use em for work or facebook being cyber-threatened with erasure of their photos of their grandchildren. but they are going after hospitals and churches anyway, so.. that's normie territory too.

e2e4 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 And in English please ? no one is going to quarantine anything like that, they were using it for work, got to be sort of open. it'll cost too much to run and setup a siprnet style network for 3 days of downtime every ten years. they wont even migrate to windows 10 coz its too much work. some firm just kicked it in the balls registering a domain name for £18. if it happened twice a week thats only £2k a year to stop it. sometimes its easier or more economical to just mend stuff on the fly . just how it is sometimes.
