Yes I am well aware that modern mainframes exist, I am actually planning to get certified on them at some point. They are however a very niche solution, which you clearly should know, and often tasked to run software made decades ago. A mainframe from 1999 is not exactly modern.
If you legit are running Windows XP or Server 2003 then you are way out of government regulations and compliance and your whole team should be sacked immediately including you. Don’t come on a public forum and brag about the incompetence of your whole organisation for fuck’s sake. You just painted a target on your back. You clearly have no understanding of either cyber security or operational security doing things like that.
It is awfully priviledged and insulting to imply such horrible things and wish harm on others because of your xenophobia and limited experience with diverse contexts.
You are really reaching here. I live in the UK but I am pretty sure the EU have regulations just as harsh and certainly harsher than the USA. Where I am in academia we have machines that are 6-8 years old that we are only allowed to use in development and testing environments. They can’t be used in production because our IT team won’t allow it.
There is no good reason to put Windows XP on an internet connected network in a production environment. It’s acceptable only on air gapped machines. If you have servers that are too new for modern Windows then use Linux. Failing that buy a new machine.
I never said those were the only countries. You are trying to justify bad practices and nonsense arguments by screaming xenophobia where there is no xenophobia.

Yes, the world is only the us, UK and the EU. No one else counts.
