"C'est la plus importante attaque de ce type de l'histoire", a déclaré à l'AFP, Mikko Hypponen, responsable de la société de sécurité informatique F-Secure, basée en Finlande, en évoquant "130.000 systèmes touchés dans plus de 100 pays".
Selon la société de sécurité informatique Kaspersky, la Russie est le pays qui a été le plus touché par ces attaques.

As well as the names & companies mentioned in this blog I’d like to give a shout out to:
NCSC UK – Their threat intelligence sharing program provided us with valuable information needed to first identify the malware family behind the attack. They also helped ensure our sinkholes were not mistaken for criminal controlled infrastructure so that we could feed them the information required to notify UK victims.
FBI & ShadowServer – They were a great help in getting non-UK victims notified of the infections in a very short span of time, even if it did mean me staying up all night to link in with them.
2sec4u – For reducing my workload today and providing free panic attacks.
Microsoft – By realeasing an out of bounds patch for unsupported operating systems such as Windows XP and Server 2003, people now are able to patch rather than having to attempt upgrades to newer system in order to be secured against this worm.
If you have anything to patch, patch it. If you need a guide, this one is being reguarly updated:

Now I should probably sleep.
