--- Quote ---ETERNALBLUE works by exploiting a vulnerability in the SMBv1 protocol to get a foothold on vulnerable machines connected online. Microsoft patched the flaw in MS17-010, released in March, but that doesn't mean all Windows PC owners have applied the security update.
Unpatched Windows machines exposed online today risk being exploited with ETERNALBLUE, and then infected with Wana Decrypt0r.
