Dear all,

I was looking at p.d.o. but much to my disappointment nobody had
discussed the newest 'wannacry' ransomware there.

I then looked at few articles from the web -

http://www.timesnow.tv/india/article/wannacry-ransomware-cert-in-india-cyber-security/61046

http://money.cnn.com/2017/05/13/technology/ransomware-attack-protect-yourself/

http://www.deccanchronicle.com/technology/in-other-news/130517/global-ransomware-attack-what-is-it-how-did-it-spread-and-how-to-prevent-it.html

while it was primarily targeted towards Windows machines, maybe we
could tailor a response which shows how Debian is more secure and
possibilities of such infections are low/non-existent .
