This malware was entirely spread by corporate emails because it used a windows vulnerability in the legacy SMBv1 protocol that would contaminate the entire network.
That being said I'm 100% for gatekeeping piracy because the last thing we need is normalfags making piracy normal again

And also because corporations are the only people who would even be willing to pay a ransom for their files.

what game is this? looks fun!

seriously. windows these days installs in like 5 minutes, you can drag and drop all your important shit from a usb3 backup drive in minutes, and redownload all your games in an hour.

>he doesnt know
it infects the firmware of all devices, yes your mouse and keyboard got AIDS and will spread it to anything they touch

>in an hour
God I wish

Not really
Anybody with job and no backups for their work related files (which is 90% of people because normies don't backup ever unless it's an automatic system set up for them) would rather pay $300 considering the time they would lose recreating those would cost them a lot more than $300

Whats funny is this only affected windows 7. Windows 10 was unaffected due to forced updates.

WannaCry hasn't been a relevant threat in almost half a decade, now. Even when it was, it was only to absolute bottom barrel retards.

still not buying elden ring

>work related files
yes basically falls under the same category, including people who are self employed. basically only people who have a financial stake int heir files are going to care, and only if theyre dumb enough to not keep backups. corporate emails are the easiest way to find such people.

Stop talking out of your fucking ass. Firmware can't be altered like that. You have to go really out of your way to flash firmware and even then there's a ton of safeguard to make sure you don't fuck it up. My motherboard requires me to change physical jumpers in order to make changes to firmware.

I've had a similar "virus" as the OP that said my computer was fucked and they wanted bitcoin. I just had reset my computer and it was gone, I purposefully triggered it again and found out I could just esc+control+shift and end the process that causes it.

>tfw he used fitgirl-repacks.ru and got a virus

I-its my fault for pirating, bet all pirates has their pc full of virus as well
No need to gatekeep shit all those pesky sites acts as a filter for newcomers and many are called but few survives
Try out renseware that's a fun game to play

I wonder if someone has ever just sent some bitcoin to that wallet just because the image has been around so long

I'm starting to believe all the eldenposting is a massive shill campaign

>he doesn't know about the Physical Remote Activation exploit in current motherboards

I will never understand the purpose of repacks like fitgirls that take your entire life to install even with 12 cores on an SSD.
Is this a limited bandwidth thing? Is that really still a thing in any 1st world country?

ransomware is more popular than ever, wannacry went away and 10 more took its place

It is no one actually in Any Forums cares about elden ring

>infects your network
>spreads to all connected devices
nothin persennal, kid.

its for Americans

Let me get my popcorn before you start LARPing.

I'm sure you the term "network" is jargon, but it's not. That's not how this shit works. This isn't an episode of Law & Order.

>keeping your backup drive networked
lmao wtf r u doin

why download full sized game files when your ~20GB unity game can be compressed down to about 3 or 4 GB

Do they really have monthly limits on internet?
I always thought that shit was a mobile network only thing

Yes, I had 0.5 mbps down in Florida 3 years ago
>inb4 america
>first world

because i can download a game faster than the time it takes for a shit girl repack to install

>500K internet

>not porn

Say a drunk retard uses your computers, downloads a shady exe, and clicks yes to everything.

How do you recover?

So you save 3 minutes by downloading 4GB instead of 20GB and then waste 20 minutes (if you have a 12 core cpu and is installing from an SSD to an SSD) installing.
Not really saving any time.

depends on your area
my home internet is 400mbs no download cap and my phone plan has no download cap

force them to use linux

If your files are still in tact, back them up and then re-format. If they're not, get your last backup and re-format.
