Haven't seen this yet, but what I can add is that this is ripping through home users right now. If someone releases a variant that becomes more malicious than the variants currently in the wild we may see some serious problems. I urge everyone to try and get friends, family, etc., to patch their systems. All I keep hearing from people is "you mean I can just get it? I don't have to open an email to get it?"
