> According to a tweet from anti-virus company Avira, [these attacks] were taking advantage of the EternalBlue exploit previously leaked by the group known as The Shadow Brokers

So it's using the same exploit as WannaCry? I'm very inexperienced when it comes to transfer protocols and windows vulns and all this kind of stuff, so maybe I'm missing something, but how could this be allowed to happen again? Some big firms have been hit!

However a quick glance on other news sources and twitter, Vice is doing a clickbait with the title, since it's not really a high number of firms that have been hit, but more that the few that have are geographically sparse.

Probably another exploit but published by the same group? Still means that companies didn't react properly after WannaCry.
