Hi

As far as, i have studied -:
Adylkuzz, is a cryptocurrency miner that leverages MS17-010, also known as EternalBlue, to compromise machines. Adylkuzz attackers scan the internet for vulnerable machines to install their malware. Unlike WannaCry, Adylkuzz does not have the ability to self-propagate. It was WannaCry’s ability to self-replicate that meant it spread very quickly within organizations.

As cryptocurrency miner also uses EternalBlue exploit ,so disabling SMB(as mentioned above) should do the job

Also re-searched about recovering encrypted data by ransomware in SOME cases-:
