WannaCry malware uses a bug in unpatched systems to encrypt your computer
if your on windows xp-10 go and check for updates now
(Yea they did patch windows xp because it's vulnerable to the attack)

The patch for the exploit was released two months ago. It's extremely likely that it was already automatically installed. The ransomware is spreading quickly through companies because they tend to stay behind with updates.

First of all, cryptolocker hasn't existed for years
Second, this is the third thread in a day on this
Third, this isn't an 'exploit', it's a feature within Windows and will always be a problem when people are dumb enough to run every .exe that they receive in an email as administrator (although you can thank the CIA for the leaked UAC bypass exploits within the win32 api)
