[QUOTE="Orion, post: 637227, member: 51621"] Also to add malware writers do target home users too atleast the regular malware does but when it comes to bigger outbreaks home users are barely the target. Malware writers know spying won't get them anything so they steal and lock files to get money out.Do people really think that wannacry writers were dumb enough not to download the entire eternalblue package and start spying on the SMB's.Thats not how it works! They used SMB vulnerability to auto infect other systems on the same network. They could have just done it from eternalblue package without spreading via mails initially but then the Agencies could track them so that's why I guess they didn't go that way. [/QUOTE]
