This Russian priest is blessing the PCs and servers with Holy Water to avoid them getting WannaCry ransomware. Not really.
The priest is Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church. And while the photo everyone’s sharing on social media is an old picture of the High Priest when he was invited to Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs to bless the computer terminals there with holy water to protect them from any sort of problems, it cannot be completely ruled out that the Patriarch may have been summoned to ward off the effects of WannaCry ransomware from critical government computer systems.
We just hope the water doesn’t short any circuits and destroy the computers they’re meant to bless and protect.
