WannaCry ransomware stopped by domain kill switch

[Royal]

I remember one case study regarding the spread of a harmless virus.

They thought it was started by the Gov or Microsoft since it was distributed on a Friday and would have low business impact. As opposed to a Monday or Tuesday when all systems are up.

Is Friday better when IT resources may be low?

It's be re-released, sans kill switch domain feature.

The oops that is not longer.

[Royal]

Friday could of been the EP of a coming album.


What else was in that NSA toolkit?

[Royal]

Russia suspected of releasing toolkit.

Russia as one of the hardest hit by the ransomware attack.


Are the shots being fired?
