NSA Tools Behind WannaCry Being Used In Even Bigger Attack Campaign

Adylkuzz is a so-called “miner” for Monero, a cryptocurrency that is similar to, but not as widely used as, bitcoin. The attack is using the NSA’s leaked EternalBlue exploit to target legacy Windows systems running a vulnerable version of the Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. The network typically pays a small fee equivalent to around $205 at current exchange rates to the attacker, which in this case would really be the attacker that installed AdylKuzz.”]
