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.
