Actually, I believe phishing / malicious attachment was debunked as the infection vector. Subsequent research found that WC starts scanning hosts and IP's on port 445 to try to find other machines to infect. Source:https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA17-132A https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA17-132A "Once the malware starts as a service named mssecsvc2.0, the dropper attempts to create and scan a list of IP ranges on the local network and attempts to connect using UDP ports 137, 138 and TCP ports 139, 445. If a connection to port 445 is successful, it creates an additional thread to propagate by exploiting the SMBv1 vulnerability documented by Microsoft Security bulliten MS17-010."
