Actually, I am. And I will continue to. Why?
Because nothing I own was even remotely effected. I'm using Windows 10, a supported and consistently updated operating system. Is it impregnable? Absolutely not. But any time a security exploit threatens me or my personal information, there is a patch the next day to fix it. That and a combination of my own internet safety intelligence protects me from these attacks.
In fact, I'll go a step beyond saying I'm still using Windows 10. I am going to applaud Microsoft for trying to wake the world up. For too long governments and large corporations have been stuck to the past, using technology but refusing to acknowledge their importance in protecting their citizens or their consumers. So many organizations refuse to update their systems properly (like still using Windows XP years after it has become outdated and unsupported) even when Microsoft warns them years in advance and offers them the chance to continue support (as long as they, you know, pay Microsoft. Because it's not Microsoft's job to keep everyone safe forever, and for free). The UK government tried to blame Microsoft for not update Windows XP, which is 16 YEARS OLD. Windows XP has been around longer then my little sister, who is a freshman in high school. And yet, they were actually given an offer to keep XP safe and secure that the UK government REFUSED.
For too long governments and organizations have been refusing to fund a proper IT infrastructure that could help them monitor and protect the millions of people who's personal information are entrusted to them.
For too long these same organizations have been stockpiling the very same exploits that are stolen from the very same organizations and turned against us, instead of turning these exploits into the companies that can protect us. The NSA KNEW about this exploit, but did they tell Microsoft? No, they didn't. Instead, the exploit was stolen and was used against thousands of people, including the UK's NHS.
The world needs to wake up. Technology like Windows 10, Google's Android and ChromeOS, and Apple's many (many) operating systems are all an integral part of society now, and security on the web and on the devices in our home needs to be taken just as seriously as security out there on the battlefield. Our own government has (on multiple occasions), been the reason our privacy has been compromised. Have we forgotten what happened with the CIA? I don't think people realize just how hard companies like Google and Microsoft have to work to keep us safe, especially when the very governments that lord over them and control them are keeping these exploits hidden from them.
If anything, these attacks should set a precedent. I applaud Microsoft for standing up and calling these organizations out, and then being the bigger person by turning around and releasing a patch for outdated, unsupported, and archaic operating systems at a LOSS. Yes, we call it "free," but you know it costs Microsoft thousands, if not millions, to do this.
And, no, this doesn't end at the governments and how they treat us as citizens, and how they treat internet security like it's a game. This also extends to the companies I've been referring to, like Google and Microsoft. Companies who use exploits to attempt to destroy the PR of their rival. Like when Google informs Microsoft (publically) of a security issue then gives them three whole days to find it, patch it, and release that patch before releasing the exploit publically.
Ah, you know what? I think I'm done ranting, haha.
