• DigitalShadows weighs in on the most likely explanation: WannaCry is from an “unsophisticated” attacker

    Posted on May 19, 2017 at 09:26 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    I don’t use their fancy analysis technique, but the conclusion from Digital Shadows sure rings right with me:

    Though by no means definitive, we assessed that a WannaCry campaign launched by an unsophisticated cybercriminal actor was the most plausible scenario based on the information that is currently available.

    WannaCry is full of cringeworthy errors — it’s like a misguided firecracker launched by an F-22 Raptor.

    Please, if you use Windows and you haven’t patched it yet, get on the stick.
