So despite all of the chaos going on with the WannaCry ransom ware, you can actually use a simple Google Dork to search for websites affected by the ransom ware. Although I haven't tested the websites yet, I can tell you that the robots.txt' of the websites have become either unresponsive or just ruined completely.

Here's a screenshot of an example of what I searched earlier on.

Here's the Google Dork for anyone interested in testing it out:

intitle:"index of" "@Please_Read_Me@.txt"

P.S. Use common sense and don't touch any of these websites unless you're running under a virtual machine closed off from your host machine. Turn off the SMB protocol on your host machine just to prevent it from spreading.

Technically the Google Dorks are comparable to specific queries that we can ask the search engine to get what we want.

Well, in this case, the request is a bit unusual and I would add: those who want to open these links should also use a good VPN to prevent your real IP from being prosecuted for not good intentions or even worse, blacklisted from your ISP.

EDIT: I removed my request.

It seems Google doesn't like above search parameters :D After copying and pasting it I got a list of affected sites. Then I wanted to use Google again and got this:
