    Neither do the people running the affected networks and systems,

    And this massive attack of ransomware was caused by the NSA and
    the USA.

    Not really. People (amd Microsoft) should have woken up in 2003
    when the Sever Mesage Block (SMB) software listening on port 445
    was first exploited by the Blaster worm. There is no reason for
    SMB to be listening for incoming internet connections and no
    excuse for not firewalling this port.
