nsa/cia/etc have had backdoors built in to windows for a very, very long time. the vault 7 release a month ago exploited some of those, and this widescale ransomware seems to be based on that stuff. the vast majority of the vulnerabilities discovered by black hats were placed there intentionally. microsoft will occasionally patch up one of these holes and create another at the same time.
you can't run a win 95 or xp machine online anymore. they are exploited within 10 minutes or so. those exploits were in since release. 7/8/10 is no different. mac os isn't much different.
