The provided content states that it spread globally on 2017-06-27, used the EternalBlue vulnerability, and was attributed to Russian state-sponsored actors, specifically Sandworm / the Russian GRU. It is described as specifically targeting Ukrainian users and as being delivered through a supply-chain compromise of the M.E.Doc update mechanism, making it one of the most damaging supply-chain incidents cited in the content. The content also notes that its early activity drew comparisons to WannaCry because both leveraged EternalBlue. High-confidence behaviors and context directly mentioned here are destructive impact, pseudo-ransomware presentation, global propagation, exploitation of EternalBlue, and distribution via the compromised M.E.Doc software update channel.
