MY TH
my-thoughts-on-wannacry-wannacrypt
#WannaCry cryptolocker worm has been running rampant exploiting Windows SMBv1 file sharing.
The basic exploit was called #EternalBlue and was developed by the NSA. A group of hackers (possibly North Korean) packaged the exploit with Crypto locker, which encrypts documents on your hard drive and demands payment of $300 worth of BitCoin to decrypt the files.
