straycat19 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Adylkuzz Cryptocurrency Miner Also Uses EternalBlue Exploit The same stolen NSA exploit the attackers behind WannaCry used is being used in a cryptocurrency miner known as Adylkuzz. "Initial statistics suggest that [the Adylkuzz] attack may be larger in scale than WannaCry," according to a researcher from Proofpoint. The Adylkuzz attack began before WannaCry, possibly in late April. It is fortunate that Adylkuzz nicely shut down SMB after infecting a system to prevent multiple infections which limited the spread of WannaCry.
