I happened to be monitoring dropped connection attempts at the internet facing interface of my router. This monitoring attempt has provided me unexpected insights to the global spread of worms/viruses/trojans/ransomware that uses the Ethernal Blue exploit. One of those widespread devastating attacks is the WannaCrypt(WannaCry) ransomware attack. This story shares some of the rather speculative empirical observations though they may not necessarily be directly caused by the exploits or attacks.
