Default Almost all WannaCry victims were running Windows 7


One week after it first hit, researchers are getting a better
handle on how the WannaCry ransomware spread so quickly — and
judging from the early figures, the story seems to be almost
entirely about Windows 7.

According to data released today by Kaspersky Lab, roughly 98
percent of the computers affected by the ransomware were running
some version of Windows 7, with less than one in a thousand
running Windows XP. 2008 R2 Server clients were also hit hard,
making up just over 1 percent of infections.
