    I just can’t believe this was only 8.5m… I know companies with thousands of affected machines, and that is only in one state in Australia… maybe they actually mean ‘pc’ and not server…

      I suspect we get another post after several months when they say they have underestimated the affected parties and the real numbers are much higher, but at that point the news cycle will have moved on.
