[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 788076"] Its a big problem. I don't have any inside knowledge, but my feeling is that these issues are due to multiple factors. Some of it is laziness on the IT department side. Not configuring security programs and so forth properly. I would say the biggest issue has to do with money. IT departments are always the first to be cut because the bean counters think they really aren't needed. Companies refuse to listen to their IT department when it comes to upgrades and implementing proper security measures, again bean counters think these things are pointless. Also companies refuse to upgrade citing budget reasons, hence you get issues like the NHS running xp and being hit hard by Wanacry. IMO in the digital era, these companies need to get with the times and start taking secuitry seriously. They need to properly invest in it and do their absolute best to keep their systems secure. Even if it means a CEO doesn't get a pay raise on their already 7-8 figure salary. [/QUOTE]
