Anything special about the way this one is spreading or just the usual suspects?

  It's not confirmed yet but there are rumours on Twitter this one is EternalBlue-based too: https://twitter.com/martijn_grooten/status/879705086359998464 https://twitter.com/martijn_grooten/status/87970508635999846... It's also unclear whether Maersk is hit by Petya variant everybody talks about.

  Mearsk is kind of critical infrastructure - they carry a lot of freight. It's conceivable that if you took out a few major carriers like this for a week, you'd get widespread food shortages.

    Even just Maersk could have huge consequences. Some of their ships have capacities of more than 10,000 containers, that's a lot of goods which may not be unloaded for the time being. Many supply chains will be quite sensitive to a delay like this and it could have very visible knock-on effects. A delay of a day is probably already enough to cause congestion in ports with further delays down the road.

      Yep, I am surprised this hasn't happened earlier....
