        @FlatBlack rigs should be fine. Keep your self secure. Do not open unknown files or sites. This was either injected or someone downloaded a file they shoukdnt have. Etc.

          I agree, keep your machines as production, especially if using windows. I always tried to use GNU/Linux, but that can more secure.

          Running any machine or PC or Mobile these days is a security issue, lots of people ignore this because they don’t want to waste time. If you are doing anything further I think security should be a high priority and is fascinating. I still watch some podcasts like TechSnap or such, and read up on the current exploits, even though I more trying to help with FTC development than running rigs. It’s the modern equivalent of train spotting.

              Re: WannaCry
              Blameing North Korea for the result of N$A and CIA “leakage”, is like a human blaming an ant for a sugar spill , is it a hastily contrived excuse or a deliberate policy? …

                @wrapper This is straight Fear mongering… Just proof crypto currencies are a threat and winning…

                Anyone been to a bank lately ?
                Canadian banks force you to sign NON USE clauses for Digital currencies when opening accounts. BMO, CIBC, TD… not sure about the rest. If you don’t no account.

                Instead of responding with honor and changing an old outdated robbery system, they respond by creating fear - straight reptilian brain mentality.

                Those days are number.

                #FTC, #LTC… ( do hastags work here haha ? )


                FTC ~ 6jW1x1tSRY1kuFJWKcB4SnGC4Gw9p9dcH7

                        @xonar said in Ransomware-Attack-Threat-escalating/:

                        you’re AMLETic

                        @Xonar I agree …

                        I have imagined a piece for David Mitchell’s soapbox where he says "It’s more likely the Queen has had her “reptilian brain” removed, and is “fully human” without all the natural instincts to prevent conflict and get along with others of your species present in reptiles etc …

                        note : Whatching too much David Mitchell’s soapbox.
