WannaCrypt: Is all lost?

Read: 29418 Comments: 1 Rating: 10

Wednesday, May 17, 2017

It was Friday evening, May 12, 2017. System administrators had left for the weekend and users were feeling relaxed when, out of the blue, shocking news erupted about a mass WannaCrypt ransomware infection. We'll talk about the ransomware species in detail in another issue. Now let's see what you can do if you are worried about whether or not your anti-virus can detect this dangerous threat.

Alas, few news posts provide enough information to help users recognize the threat. Things are easier if a post contains hashed values that help identify a certain file. In this case, these are files that are part of the ransomware or any other malicious program.

For the first WannaCrypt strain, the list of hashed values (since we're talking only about the action sequence, the values below represent only some of the files) is as follows:

Then, to get detailed information, go to virustotal.com and open the Search tab:

#drweb

Here, enter the hashed value into the search field

#drweb

and get the result:

#drweb

#Trojan.Encoder #encryption_ransomware #ransomware

The Anti-virus Times recommends

If your anti-virus is Dr.Web, this wave of WannaCrypt attacks hasn't caused you a headache. But stay vigilant.
