Re: Large Scale Cyber-Attack Hits 40 NHS Hospitals
Wondering if whitelist security / captive app list (eg. "child account") would have stopped this in it's tracks.

Sure, the old version of windows may be a hindrance, but when there is only a clearly defined set of apps that should be run, locking down permissions should greatly increase security
