Microsoft has released a patch for its early operating systems to prevent against a potential WannaCry-esque exploit.
Microsoft has put out a warning to those still using its Windows XP, Windows 7 or other early operating systems (OS), urging them to update their PCs with the latest security patch in order to prevent against a serious threat.
