On Friday evening, Microsoft released patches for Windows XP, Server 2003, and Windows 8, after those systems were infected with Ransomware on Friday. WannaCry attacks on Friday reached 125,000 systems worldwide, impacting the National Health Service in the UK, as well as FedEx. Microsoft patched the vulnerability in March, but only for current platforms, or for those with special support contracts. After Friday’s attack, Microsoft changed their stance on EOL (end-of-life) patching and provided fixes for everyone.”]
