Comae described WannaCry as a ransomware outbreak affecting more than 70 countries, including Telefonica in Spain and the NHS in England, while noting an update about links to Lazarus Group. The malware used MS17-010 SMB exploitation and DOUBLEPULSAR checks to spread, with a kill-switch domain registration temporarily limiting one wave of infections. The dropper extracted a password-protected archive containing ransomware components, ransom notes in 28 languages, Tor communication tooling, configuration files, and UI/payment routines. The report lists three Bitcoin payment addresses, a SHA-256 hash for the main dropper, Tor endpoint infrastructure, and 179 targeted file extensions, giving defenders concrete artifacts to validate against vulnerable Windows systems and network telemetry.
