One week after the WannaCry attack, the analysis of the data collected shows that the systems most affected by the malicious λογισμικό ήταν τα Windows 7 και όχι τα Windows XP, σύμφωνα με την company security Kaspersky.
Specifically, over the 60% + 31% of the computers hit by WannaCry ran 64 or 32 bits (respectively) of the Windows 7 operating system.
Κατά ειρωνικό τρόπο, τα Windows 7 έπρεπε να είναι ασφαλή κατά της WannaCry, καθώς η Microsoft it had released security patches since March 2017. Also let's 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 worth mentioning that Window 7 is pirated in many systems out there, especially in countries like China and Russia, which still use non-genuine operating system replicas.
As a result, those who use them may not be able to update each month, and many users have completely blocked updates για να αποφύγουν τον έλεγχο για γνήσια κλειδιά προϊόντος.
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.
