Continuing my early mention. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-05-...reat-lingers-as-people-return-to-work/8525554

MalwareTech said sinkholing would only stop the spread until hackers removed the domain check and tried again. He said it was "incredibly important that any unpatched systems are patched as quickly as possible".

"You're only safe if you patch ASAP," he warned.

The government has warned that the outbreak could pop up in Australia, and if we go back to the monitoring site https://intel.malwaretech.com/WannaCrypt.html its dead quiet. Which leads me to believe they have already patched and changed their code. Because the replication was pinging that domain from places like Tasmania.

Another one that I use Tim, Amiga Workbench 3.0 (1992)

This machine is completely hack proof as no ability to connect to internet. AUDA may wish to consider purchasing one to store their precious minutes.
