cyber attack on our health service and other countries

[Vimana.]

Jeez.

Looks lie a crypto-locker kind of infection.
Spreads like absolute wildfire and will genuinely wipe out all data it gets access to 'unless ransom is paid' - which is absolutely no guarantee/solution anyway.
Possibly unrecoverable on MS Server OS either way.

Major, major f*cked-ness.

If one was cynical and imagined that 'TPTB' UK wanted rid of the NHS. Oh .. here's another big nail.

They just said on the news that it's just going to keep spreading until it's worldwide, when I was trying to get rid of that virus before I read loads of stories about people being infected with things since Microsoft installed an update with all their spying settings, I think it was their spying I was actually trying to get rid of all that time, it kept on leaving a connection open so anything could get in, I knew it was not right.

microsoft updates can be treacherous. as a company they have created so much good but can be so bad.

the latest win 10 upgrade (creative edition i think) uses stealth to get people to use the Edge browser, those who still stick with IE have a new tab option that is Edge and it's a fixed feature. The conspiratists will say Edge collects more data, I think it probabbly does.

I nearly destroyed my laptop trying to stop it, I still don't think it's right, haven't done any updates for ages in case they put any more crap in.

Microsoft have already patched this particular vunerability in a recent update. The NHS trusts haven't updated, so this ransomware has made it in.

I was all up to date when I noticed the problem but had no idea at the time it was the update, I was slagging my son in law off for making some dodgy xbox live connection and blaming him for it all.

It was more likely to be caused by all your dodgy midget porn than your son's Xbox

You'd have thought she would have learnt from her previous experience of making public accusations about innocent victims which proved to be totally false.... Hope you apologized to him, at least....
