Hackers were able to get into hundreds of thousands of computers over the weekend thanks to a vulnerability in older Microsoft Windows operating systems.

In March 2017 Microsoft recognized a hole in its security and sent out a patch to update Windows Vista and newer supported systems. That meant Windows XP and older versions were completely unprotected until just a few days ago. Due to the size of the cyber attack, Microsoft decided to release a free emergency security patch for all of its older Windows products.
