Hi DavidR,
Yes, know there are other ways to skin this proverbial animal, but as I stumbled upon the IP blocking by DShield, I would not like to have the info withheld from our users, just to be complete on the Wannacry related info and some here may appreciate this info. I know some of our good friends on these forums here are into IP blocking. That’s all and why.

Going over the Ooniprobe censorship and blocking reported IPs:

I stumbled upon this in Germany:

setting out clearly that the initial NSA tools were being positioned against tor-users, read also this:

and this report: http://trapx.com/wannacry-thoughts-and-threat-intelligence/ (info credits for links by, Moshe Ben Simon, VP ofServices and TrapX Labs, StackOverflow’s trankvilezator on insider NSA attacks against the general public’s infrastructure.
Now after this has been going on for 5 years, we all should be aware what the proliferation of such official guv malware used in these actions has brought us all: threats and threats and new threats. These spooks have turned the Interwebs in an even more insecure place for all users.

Hi bob3160,
Apparently mankind does not learn from history. This should never have happened after what we remember of the Blaster disaster.
It still did. There were people that were willingly sitting on exploits, they better had shared with the community to be patched.
And I asume also in the AV industry there is insecurity that has not been shared with those it should have been shared with.

The aftermath of this has not left us with 16.000 servers still infested and some 91.000 unpatched:

NSA oversight really has some explanation to do towards the global community and to those whom they endangered
with their schemes, and not only think ‘about the glory of the bold and the free’. 
>:(
Good Google launched a back-up tool for us all.
