    Hi guys... I was wondering what software were the most affected institutions using at the time of the wanacry attack. Just out of curiosity.

    That's a very good question.

    Sophos is quite commonly used in the UK in education and healthcare.

    It appears that Fedex uses McAfee, as best I can gather.

    Source: From a online Security Whitepaper from Fedex to their customers: ' McAfee antivirus software and anti-spyware software have been incorporated into FedEx Ship Manager and updates for new virus definition files are downloaded via the FedEx Servers to protect the FedEx Ship Manager device from virus attacks.'
