It is certainly impressive in how it spreads. This kind of attack is pretty scary, to be honest.

Got an email about this today at work. Man we would be so screwed if this happened to us since we use remote desktop tools to add sales to the system, which would not only knock us down but then spread to our retailers, their distribution centers, at the same time knocking out the distribution center we work at and their multi million dollar clients.

As long as your IT professional has backups and regularly patches(ahhahahahaha) then there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

The fact it can spread over networks scares me. I've got a dumb sibling who's infected the family computer multiple times and really can't tell that "FREE _____ PREMIUM ACCOUNT" is probably fake

Danooct1's virus videos are fascinating. I'd recommend checking out the rest of his stuff if you have any interest in computer history.
