Heard about target weekend loss
As a former employee I can tell you right now what the problem is based upon pictures and news. When I worked at target they had windows xp in 2009. Later on in 2014 they finally upgraded to Windows 7. I’m thinking that registers refused to work because microsoft kept sending Windows 7 will end support on January 4th 2020. So yeah, because target is so far behind on windows, that’s the biggest reason why there register systems didn’t work. So target, upgrade to windows 10 already! Get your IT guys in the server rooms stat!

This post screams "I don't know anything about IT or system stability." 😉
Basically if target doesn't upgrade to Windows 8.1 or 10, they will be severely hacked with Windows 7. Windows is just a hacked system anyways.
That's not how it works either. EOL is next year. You're assuming they're running no security software, or firewalls at all for that to be true. They're fucking morons, so maybe it is true, but it's still a lot of assumptions.
