Microsoft warns up to one million of devices are vulnerable to the latest crypto-locker virus. Any device that has not been updated to Windows 10 will be affected. This includes Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, and earlier versions of Windows Server. In particular it is affecting operating systems that are still using the remote desktop protocol which is used to login to devices remotely. The best method is to use a VPN which is far more secure.
