Microsoft commented that anyone with a free anti-virus and had kept their system updated would be protected from the attack soooooo, what were the IT "specialists/technicians" doing in leaving systems unprotected?
There are people employed to "maintain" systems so what were they playing at leaving such systems open to attack.
The problem is that Microsoft no longer issue security updates, (or any other kind), for XP - most, if not all, of the commercial network security software providers have also stopped issuing updates - there is no point blaming the IT guys who have been the target of the cuts, (counted as management in the NHS), and don't have the resources to upgrade systems to prevent these sorts of attacks.
