WannaCry: Advice to consumers should place a lot more focus on Web Browsers (than on email - although email transports links, sometimes the payload, etc as well - this is well known...- What is not known is that the consumers favorite PORN website also installs 'monitor ware'...)
by all means proffer advice to consumers ... but Wannacry spreads entirely over the network (sending traffic to open tcp/445 ports to exploit CVE-2017-0145) <http://cert.europa.eu/static/SecurityAdvisories/2017/CERT-EU- SA2017-012.pdf> No-one (and a lot of folk have been looking very hard) has found any examples of it being spread by email. Early reports suggested this was the initial vector, but they were just guessing -- and the large amount of Jaff being sent at the end of last week added to the confusion. So linking advice about email or web browsers to Wannacry just invites laughing and pointing :( - -- richard Richard Clayton Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
