Hi Sirish, Actually, if there were a large enough number of users still running Squeeze or earlier versions, for which there is no official nor [LTS security support](https://wiki.debian.org/LTS), the same could happen to Debian. Thus, if there were a response from Debian to the ransomware attack, it could be a reminder that it is true for Debian as well that old systems must be upgraded or at least very thoroughly isolated. But I think that it would more fit a blog article than an official news release (after all, we will call for updates soon with the next Stable release). So... feel free to blog on the topic :) Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan
