Bit harsh. Wannacry would not have gone anywhere on a patched Windows system. Period. Malwarebytes reported a 270% spike in Mac malware in 2017. I guess Linux could be considered safer but it's not immune either. Problem is the tools probably aren't written for either of the other OSs anyway. So what's the answer? Whatever OS you use, keep it patched.

So they got hit with malware that used an exploit that MS patched ages ago?
Ok.
Just stop using Windows. I bet you lost enough on this mess to pay for the switch 10 times over...
