    The first ransomware worm built on stolen NSA technology but includes a trivially discovered kill switch? Not economically motivated actors.

        This may be more representative of the actual motivations of the actor in question. Embarrassing the NSA.pic.twitter.com/LoyBQ620er

        Makes you wonder if the kill switch was to make it smart bombish so they could limit the damage if needed

        Fragile Theory: Kill Switch was to reduce scope of damage and number of ransoms needed to be serviced to make the op seem real.
