    Yes, I have done this long ago as there is no need to have it enabled anyway. But the important question now is: Are those of us having latest windows update and SMBv1 disabled safe with the new attack or other precautions should be taken!?

    The site responsible for this particular malware has already been closed down.

    "Are those of us having latest windows update and SMBv1 disabled safe with the new attack"

    Apparently this protocol will default to OFF in the Fall Creators Update. For those who want to disable but don't know how: open Powershell (Admin) then type and Enter -
    Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName smb1protocol

    or, in Control Panel/Programs and Features/Turn Windows Features on or off and untick box. Restart is required

    Apparently some software could be to blame ?

    Tax software blamed for cyber-attack spread - BBC News

    And it is suspected was spread via the software's automatic updates !

    Alan Woodward, a computer scientist from the University of Surrey, said: The ironic thing about this situation (if it proves to be the case) is that we always advise users to keep their software up to date, ideally using automated updates.

    "However, it assumes hackers can't take over the update process and misuse it.

    I've always worried about this with Microsoft's own auto update system, could it be abused in the same or similiar way.

    The linked article does not confirm that this threat is no longer spreading. It only confirms that if a PC will be infected, it's no longer possible to get files back by paying because it's no longer possible to get in touch of these criminals to get decryption key.

    That's what I was thinking, Kari. I have to go back and read the first article, and then this one, before I make a final decision on what I should do. Since I'm not a major industry, *Eek, I think I'll have time.

    My reading is that Posteo the e-mail provider used by the blackmailer, closed the account that the threat was posted on, thereby cutting off further infections from that source.
