We can’t have security software for these types of malware because that’s how “they” are going to steal any digital currency after they tank the entire banking system. Under the guise of debt and world governments unable to pay back loans. That’s why they keep making trillions of debt, and pocketing it. Similar to the exchange collapses. Everything will be stolen/ wiped out. Brokerage accounts, 401ks, IRAs. You name it.

Ah, so that’s why I can’t initialize samba on my network…

Great breakdown man. Thank you.

why am i not surprised

слава богу что у меня пиратка и вся виндовская требуха у меня просто не работает

*uncomments the code *casually loses $440 Mil.

Wait until the black hats use AI to find these vulnerabilities in a fraction of a percent of the time it used to take them.

I haven't finished watching the video yet, but didn't Microsoft release a update patching this security flaw a WHILE back before this ransomware started infecting?

I see no "accidentally" here. There is only one reason to withhold such information, namely to weaponize it. There is no foreign bad actor, the NSA messed with fire then cried wolf when it bit their asses. That's what you get for believing you're smarter than anyone on the planet.

It's crazy how since the 80's, the US govt and Russia have traded places.

Almost 100% not NK. Most likely CIA doing it. CIA is behind most of the evil in the world.

Noticing about actual hackers is "Antisemitic". It will shut you down.

They should have just set their servers/AWS off wut

Russia is responsible for blue balls also

Almost expected: 'This is where today's video sponsor comes in - The NSA is an industry leading...'

This just makes me happy I dropped out of computer science.

OGs know it's title has been changed three times

Here's the important question: How does NSA (an American organisation) plan to pay for damages for users of other countries?

My at home server got hit by wannacry, thankfully I had an external backup wiped the drives and just in case reset the cmos as well. I run the server within network now so my 2011 server can't be targeted directly.

My solution was to destroy the disk and drop in a backup.

Bunch of Blockheads

0:09 Some interesting shape comes with the lights and oscillating fan.

Great video! nice visuals! soothing voice. I don't even wanna know why and how they "discovered" that backdoor. and even more disturbing why they keept it secret until the zeroDay was already on auction.

Thai explanation (about at the 6 Minute Mark) Sounds Like a speedrun strategy…

fat chance the US government paid a single cent for the damages they caused...

the US: indicting a bunch of foreign officials also the US: the ones who caused and allowed the vulnerability

"Accidentally" lol

Thanks for explanation!

It was no accident.

The secret government organization known as The Equation Group has developed The EternalExploits, a set of powerful secret techniques. The four EternalExploits are known as EternalBlue, EternalChampion, EternalRomance and EternalSynergy. These names sound like they were taken straight from an anime. Wtf lmao.

The spread reminds me of not vaccinating. There's a known danger out there (the bug / disease) there's a fix for it (the update / vaccination) people choose not to implement the fix, and the danger spread. If 95% of computers would have the fix, the danger might have been contained because it couldn't spread fast enough, but it wasn't.

Why did you change the title?

Every computer on earth: 😨😏

I worked in a SOC on night shift at the time of this, I grabbed one of the screenshots and set it as the slideshow screensaver on every machine in the room. The next morning my relief was late so i left, she finally showed up about a half hour later and i got a panicked phone call from her on my drive home. I had to pull over and catch my breath because i was laughing so hard.

You say at 0:58 that WannaCry spread to EVERY computer..... this is not true. At 1:39 you state that 230,000 computers are infected after one day. Considering that there were somewhere between 500,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 computers worldwide, this amounts to about 0.03% of the total computers worldwide. 0.03% is HARDLY "all the devices on that network" that you claim were affected at 0:58 - so why the lies, the blatant exaggeration? Smells like rank clickbait to me.

I wish you were a doctor

you have a great knack for making complex topics fun! ‍♂️

lol who cares. just keep hospitals out of this

Does a great job illustrating in-depth a notorious and technical attack on Windows in a way that people can follow. Chose to represent the exploited machines using iMacs and Macbook Pros.

The title is clickbait.

if this interests you, i'd recommend reading This Is How They Tell me The World Ends by Nicole Perlroth

14:12 So you're classic buffer overflow exploit.

11:47 This is why Hungarian Notation is good. If that was used they could have used it to indicate the data type. Unfortunately the language they used didn't inforce the data type of the variable which was the main problem. If the compile warned that the data type didn't match (2 byte vs 4 byte) we wouldn't have this problem. I hope C/C++ compilers are smart enough to catch buffer overflows and type mismatches now.

@0:30 Yea, so what? Clean the Drive, reinstall the OS, restore from Backup.

NSA kept information about the bug to themselves instead of disclosing it to Microsoft causing all that damage and lost information. Despicable.

I was working at a factory. They had to erase ALL their machines, because the greedy bastards were running XP. All machines stopped, all production stopped for 18 hours. People were walking around, sweeping floors and stuff, because they had nothing to do.

OMG I really need to backup more often.

Your explanation of the bugs and how they work was top notch

It's just the big corpos and lizard people not expecting hackers to find these backdoors for posterior world domination use. They were wrong. All plans were foiled by the least expected coders around the spectrum. You'd think these guys would be wiser to not leave a stack overflow bug hanging... The most common way to hack OR inject non-intended code for any system. The only reason I know about this is because videogame consoles xD The fact the NSA shut their mouth about it tho...

Accidentally. Sure…
