Solution
They did fix it. The patch that takes care of it came out in March. Win 10 isn't targeted from what I've read. Up to date OS is the biggest, followed by don't click on suspect emails or open office files. If you have a non patched win7 laptop and take it to an infected library, cafe, friends house, etc then you'll get it from the hole in your OS. Just by connecting to the wifi.
