This morning I can only get WHO for some reason: all my other usual sites for news and banking etc are unobtainable.
A future of having to communicate only on WHO is freaking me out - how much do you want, hackers, I'll bring the cash round?

Very true, and is why the USB ports on all the PC's my team manages do nothing except provide power.
Have to agree with zeb too - I appreciate it can be difficult to get downtime, especially on production server, but if you didn't patch after the last one then you deserve everything you get.

Yes it is.
You would have thought that after the last attack which was exploiting a zero day day flaw in SMB would have made companies patch their servers but apparently not.
Some people get what the deserve

The reason the so called poorer nations are getting hit alot harder than the likes of the UK and US is they use a lot of counterfeit versions of MS products as they can't afford the real one's, they then can't patch those products becaue they can't connect to Microsoft updates meaning the ransomware gets in and spreads alot quicker

Yeah, that or somebody's so fucking inept at managing their time/workload they get a deadlime looming so "just pop something on a memory stick (it's just got pictures & personal stuff on it - nothing important)" for someone else to have a look at...

External Blue is a hacker tool developed by the NSA (allegedly) to get into large corporate networks illegally. They dumped it, a group of hackers got hold of it enabling them to use an exploit ( a fuck up in MS code) to get ransomware into networks, once it's in it spreads like wild fire especially as this one has a worm attached to it.

Having said that, if you have a single machine on your network that doesn't have the SMB patch and gets infected, the attached worm will then fuck up other machines on your network

Using the same exploit as WannaCry was, so if you're patched against that then you're fine

It's got a worm attached to it so its spreading alot faster this time and its ecnrypting boot files this time as well
You can blame the NSA for it

New variant is apparently carving through fully patched Win 7 & 10 machines, Server 2016 so far looks ok.
