About Ransomware attack

Here is Microsoft's Customer Guidance on the Ransomware Attack:

• In March, we released a security update which addresses the vulnerability that these attacks are exploiting. Those who have Windows Update enabled are protected against attacks on this vulnerability. For those organizations who have not yet applied the
  security update, we suggest you immediately deploy Microsoft Security Bulletin MS17-010.

• For customers using Windows Defender, we released an update earlier today which detects this threat as Ransom:Win32/WannaCrypt.
  As an additional “defense-in-depth” measure, keep up-to-date anti-malware software installed on your machines. Customers running anti-malware software from any number of security companies can confirm with their provider, that they are protected.

• This attack type may evolve over time, so any additional defense-in-depth strategies will provide additional protections. (For example, to further protect against SMBv1 attacks, customers
  should consider blocking legacy protocols on their networks).

Intel PCs vulnerable to attack

It's actually a vulnerability of the x86 platform. It's documented and AMD is using exactly the same platform. So the odds are that AMD is vulnerable too. Then again it doesn't work with Windows, so good luck to you Linux users.

 

Windows Phone vulnerable to FREAK ATTACK!

First, don't panic.

FREAK requires a middle man, an infected network, to forcefully reduce the encryption on the connection to vulnerable servers. I believe the attacker also needs both the server and the client to be vulnerable for this to work. Even though the carriers prevent
patching of Windows Phone faster than actual Windows, as long as the server is patched, nothing happens.

You're also good as long as you're not connecting to random, untrusted WiFi networks all the time.
