A public exploit for this vulnerability had been released in April by a group subbed as ShadowBrokers (which emerged for the first time in August 2016) while leaking files containing offensive tools belonging to the NSA including a remote SMB exploit called [ETERNALBLUE] (https://www.msuiche.com/posts/shadowbrokers-the-nsa-compromised-the-swift-network/)which affects the above vulnerability.
