Wow, no. One was the CTO of Symantec, who knows nothing other than what his PR people tell him he should know.

Our industry is security, just like police and military. Nobody in these areas want to correctly inform Congress. They want more security.

Wannacry didn't infect WinXP, except maybe a couple systems where it got lucky.

thanks I didn't check any stats on that, but we did have some serious reports from UK Health
