Sadly, the malware author(s) have updated their code and are now spreading a variant without the "kill-switch" domain check: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/round-two-wannacry-ransomware-that-struck-the-globe-is-back https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/round-two-wannacr... However, MalwareTech's sinkhole intervention has bought enough time for patches to be pushed out, so at this point it is absolutely imperative that everyone apply these patches as soon as possible.
