After being directed to this article: https://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/what-you-need-know-about-wannacry-ransomware?inid=hho_forums_srb_ransomwannacry#comments-begin
It looked interesting enough and would have liked to comment on it, however, even after reading the massive Terms Of Service (TOS) and completing the registration, I was not able to post, although, there was a hyperlink to "comments". I attempted to message RGMDonaldson about this concern, however, the system would not let me send the message interpreting it as spam. I attempted once again and received a 503 error of which I'm attaching a screenshot. After that, I was like, "Forget this...." (laughs)
At one point in the article they explain, "These earlier variants of WannaCry did not have the ability to spread via SMB."
So, after reading that, I internalized that as, "Well, that's good. At least it doesn't have the ability to spread by way of Super Mario Brothers." Joking aside, at such a critical placement, it would have been nice if the author spelled out the acronym then perhaps later could have abbreviated it. On thinking about it more, perhaps SMB is Sim BIOS?
Other oddities I am noticing with respect to community.norton.com: 1.) After I post a new idea to say (Tech Outpost) while I'm logged in, I can see it, however, after logging out, it vanishes like Haruhi. It is only until the next day that I see it. 2.) Discrepancy with "Users Currently Online". Depending on what forum page you are on, it seems that there are different counts and it is not synchronized. 3.) After previewing my PDF file (before submitting this post) then, I tried to return to the main post window, but, my entire post was gone! I had to re-craft this entire post! Very annoying to say the least.
Sincerely,
H.B.
