      Eternalblue "worms" doing xmr mining did use netsh ACL to avoid reinfection but notice that currently even nobody/www shells are mining now

      There was an old joke from @dotMudge “you can tell which boxes have been hacked because they’re the most stable”

      Historically, hackers tend to patch the systems they control because they don’t want anyone else gaining access. Hackers are jealous

      On pentests one of the hardest networks to crack was one that had already been cracked. The hackers locked it down tight.

      OK, a more on point answer, thank you. (Tho that assumes WannaCry is not deliberately being stupid, for which there is some evidence.)

          yeah that being-stupid on purpose is interesting but its in hindsight right, just cause it serves some agendas dont mean it originated there

          Yeah. I'm not sure that's what *we* are seeing here is all. It is what we *assume* we are seeing.
