One year later: EternalBlue exploit more popular now than during WannaCryptor outbreak

It’s been a year since the WannaCryptor. D ransomware (aka WannaCry and WCrypt) caused one of the largest cyber-disruptions the world has ever seen. And while the threat itself is no longer wreaking havoc around the world, the exploit that enabled the outbreak, known as EternalBlue, is still threatening unpatched and unprotected systems.
