Windows 7 is the big loser in the battle with WannaCry

One week after the WannaCry attack, the analysis of the data collected shows that the systems most affected by the malware it was Windows 7, not Windows XP, according to security firm Kaspersky.

Specifically, over the 60% + 31% of the computers hit by WannaCry ran 64 or 32 bits (respectively) of the Windows 7 operating system.Windows 7

Ironically, Windows 7 had to be safe against WannaCry, as Microsoft had released security patches since March of 2017. Also, we should not forget that the operating system is supposed to still be supported.

On the other hand, seeing Windows 7 as the most influenced operating system by WannaCry malware shows it makes sense. Because if you think it's the world's top PC operating system with a market share of almost 50% it seems to be the right percentage.

This means that almost 1 on 2 desktop systems run with Window 7.

It is also worth mentioning that Windows 7 is released in pirated versions σε πάρα πολλά συστήματα εκεί έξω, ειδικά σε χώρες όπως η and Russia, which are still using non-genuine copies of the operating system.

As a result, those who use them may not be able to update each month, and many users have completely blocked to avoid checking for genuine keys .

Note that Windows 7 will continue to be supported by January of 2020, so genuine systems with this operating system will still receive updates for almost 3 years.
