uses an exploit that was made public after the NSA was hacked to encrypt your system and then the hackers charge you $300 to give you the key to decrypt your shit or something like that.

Microsoft released a patch for the exploit back in March, so if you have auto updates enabled, you're good.

It was fixed in March on windows 10. If you had auto-updates on, you're good.

It's Windows 7, Vista, and XP systems that are predominantly affected.
