It's not as impressive as you may think

from /g/

>likely it was released very recently and spread faster than anticipated

>how to not get:

>1) be behind a router that is not forwarding port 445 (99% chance yours is not)
>or
>2) if not behind a router, first kill yourself, then disable SMB or block port 445 in your windows firewall
>if you are on public wifi, i.e. college, then do 2
>or install the security update

In the United States HIPAA laws protect patient confidentiality, but I believe that Monty is protected by HIPPO laws since he is a big fat fuck. Funnel cake induced diabetes is a pre-existing condition in the UK. Occupational hazard for carneys I suppose.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

>Fortunately, a kill switch was included in the code. When it detects that a particular web domain exists, it stops further infections. That domain was created earlier today by a UK infosec bod, who spotted the dot-com in the reverse-engineered binary; that registration was detected by the ransomware, which immediately halted its worldwide spread.

>Connections to the magic domain – iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea.com – were sinkholed to a server in California, and the admins of the infected systems reaching out to the dot-com will be notified, we're told.

Because he knows Monty is reading this in a van and using his wireless account to down load the forum data. You are collateral damage.. :lol:
