Free Scanner Finds 50,000+ EternalBlue-Vulnerable Systems

itman · Jul 13, 2017

More than 50,000 computers vulnerable to the NSA-linked EternalBlue exploit were found by a free vulnerability scanner in recent weeks.

Although Eternal Blues found only around 50,000 vulnerable systems, Erez warns that the number is much higher. Issues with the scanner prevented it from correctly reporting the number of vulnerable host. The researcher addressed those in a version released on July 2, but didn’t take previous findings into account when presenting the above numbers.

Why the 'fixed' Windows EternalBlue exploit won't die

Security researchers from Avira have been tracking the vulnerability and reinfection rates across the world. In a blog post last week, the team said that unpatched PCs are a key reason EternalBlue won't die, with impacted devices "getting stuck in an endless infection cycle with new infections occurring at the kernel level as the previous ones are removed."

Avira says that the exploit is finding its way to cracked and pirate versions of Microsoft Windows which are operating on the old SMB1 protocol, which is vulnerable to EternalBlue.
