NHS still on XP? Say it ain't so.

[Dabura]

The whole thing is a joke, i work with the NHS and every email i sent to a welsh trust was immediately deleted and i got an auto generated reply stating it was due to the Cyber attacks. So work is just pilling up for when it gets fixed, Joy

With a bit of luck, we'll be turning our mail servers back on in 5 minutes, once "Gold Command" give us a nod.

Yes, they've called themselves "Gold Command"

Interesting video with the actual facts about what this is.

Speak for yourself, I just took the credit for the previous generation of devs not being mongs.

Insh'Allah, I'll still be around to steal the glory in 2K38 as well.

I think I had the only PC that was affected by the millennium bug, it thought it was the year 2094.

[Fizzoid]

I can't really remember if we had many computers affected, due to the fact I went straight from a NYE party in to work, complete with fancy dress, and was pretty leathered.

Well, we were given a cash incentive to work New Years day, although we were also unofficially told we HAD to come in

Not sure we were lauded as heroes, such as stopping the Russian missile silos launching their nukes, but we did ensure the continued supply of Sara Lee double chocolate gateaux

...and finally, at 4pm today, we turned email back on. So essentially, we've turned email off, use the opportunity to scare the services into actually letting us have maintenance windows for what should be BAU, then turned the mail back on.

And earned a shedload of overtime.

For anyone who doesn't want to be at risk of being fucked by ransomware, SyncToy is a straight forward way of keeping backups.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=15155

Set one folder (left) to say My Documents and set the other folder to a USB stick. Click run and it then synchronises the USB with any changes to the files in My Documents since you last clicked run.

Above everything else in protecting your computer from malware and ransomware specifically, if you have backups then you can never be held to ransom.

I remember when I worked in operations the old boys telling us about Y2k.

They each got paid a grand to be there. They sat watching the clock nervously no cheers at Midnight. At 00:01 there was a massive cheer and they all got shitface in the operations center.
