This is from CNN today. It kind of reminds me of my XP buried in its box on my W7.
'Windows XP isn't just running on the dusty, discarded PC in your closet. It's everywhere, threatening devices that store sensitive information and computers that keep the city lights on and water running.
An estimated 95% of bank ATMs run on XP. GE Intelligent Platforms, which sells industrial software, discovered 75% of its utility customers still use it. Cybersecurity provider Cylance says one of its clients is a major hospital where XP is still on more than 100,000 devices, including computers that hold patient records.
"It's literally everywhere still," said Cylance chief scientist Ryan Permeh. "Every point that's running XP is ripe for worms. They haven't been much of a common occurrence in modern times, but any new vulnerability could result in mass infection with very little remediation."
That includes point-of-sale systems at about 30% of retail stores, according to Greg Rosenberg, a security engineer at Trustwave. That lowers the bar to recreate the massive Target hack that happened late last year.'
