Hiya,
Part of the NSA Tool Kit Release Of A Month Ago.
Note that this was only patched about a month ago. Not known if older Windows are vulnerable. (Like XP/Vista)

This is going to get worse before better because that Tool Kit release opened up a huge amount of tools for the ass clowns of the world.
Here is what I know as of mid afternoon today.
Last Sept Win Server 2008 , Server 2012 , Vista , Win 7 and Win 8.1 (But NOT WIN 8.0!!) were patched for this.

March after the NSA Toolkit was released a patch was quickly put out for Win 10 (So if you are updated you should be OK)
Today after the uproar they put out a patch for XP , Server 2003 and Win 8 (Manual Download!!!)

What a fricking joke and it raises all sorts of questions.
Sigh,

Excerpt::
A massive cyber-attack using tools believed to have been developed by the US National Security Agency has struck organisations around the world.
Computers in thousands of locations have been locked by a programme that demands $300 (£230) in Bitcoin.
In April hackers known as The Shadow Brokers claimed to have stolen the tools and released them online.
Microsoft released a patch for the vulnerability in March, but many systems may not have been updated.
