[QUOTE="Orion, post: 637199, member: 51621"] So you are completely taking the words off wiki? Why am I not impressed? In order for the hacker to gain access to the system there is has to be some malicious program on your system for the attacker to continue infecting other systems. Same with wannacry and how it initially started,once a computer is infected with the malware possibly from mail attachments it auto infects other systems.Its literally not profitable for regular malware writers to infect or spy on regular user's computers.There was a time when rootkits used to get bank account details but that time is gone.Also consider other situations with win8.1 or 10. Also did I mention I am indian too and I have spent time into infosec since my teens. [/QUOTE]
