World's Deadliest Computer Virus: WannaCry

On May 12, 2017, a malware called WannaCry spread uncontrollably through 150 countries, affecting nearly every continent worldwide.

To this day, the attack is considered one of the most infectious in history. However, the discovery of a killswitch abruptly halted all its destruction.

And most importantly, what exactly did this attack uncover?
