• Evidence that PetyaWrap is from a Russia-linked hacking group “TeleBots”

    Posted on June 30, 2017 at 17:51 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Interesting tweet stream from Catalin Cimpanu.

    He connects the dots and, based on a report from ESET, deduces that PetyaWrap comes from a hacking organization known as TeleBots, which targeted the US before 2015, and the Ukraine after 2015.

    ESET now confirms Telebots hacked MEDoc and installed a backdoor

    which apparently was used to seed PetyaWrap.

    That doesn’t explain all of the PetyaWrap infections, but it does explain the best-known infection vector.

    In addition, Dan Goodin has more evidence on Ars Technica that the people behind PetyaWrap got the leaked NSA code weeks before Shadow Brokers released it to the world. Dan calls it an “unproven theory” but it’s a interesting one.

    Thx @Kirsty
