Do Linux users bother about wanna cry ransomware. I am not talking about using windows emulation like WINE.

All my servers and office desktops are on linux, I am assuming I am safe against at least this ransomware. But I just want to make sure

  • You're "safe" if you are on a fully patched windows system. This ransomware targeted the smb protocol and a specific windows vulnerability – Drifter104 May 16 '17 at 11:46

Yes, this specific piece of malware only affects Windows and if you don't run this, you should not be affected at the moment.
