WannaCry ransomware is making its way around the internet today. Many older systems (XP) are getting it.
I've heard that systems not patched, can receive this with no user contact necessary. Machines can blue-screen and then reboot and the ransomware will be running. Here is some detailed information about WannaCry:

Had 2 machines at work get this today. Looking into further and will be taking some precautions.
If you do run an older operating system, considering upgrading or taking the system offline in the meantime. Also, make sure security updates are being applied.
