NHS cyber attack

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Just watched this. Exposed vulnerabilities of wifi household items such as remote heating systems and wifi kettles.

People who assumed the cyber attack hit XP run equipment were wrong, it was Windows 7.

The 22 year old who discovered the kill switch was awarded the HackerOne prize and £10,000. Amazing young Marcus gave it all to charity.

I certainly have no interest in getting remote heating control.

All they'd need is a water inlet, a cup and teabag and milk dispenser and it'd take off! Oh wait...

I think you confused WiFi with Wife! It's an easy mistake to make.
