I don't know dude... How suspicious he just accidentally registered the kill switch or that there even was one CONSIDERING that the files didn't get decrypted when people paid, like... come on. For someone who does what this guy does, getting noticed is a huge factor in his ability to get a high ranking job. If I were him that's what I would have done, manufactured this problem, solved it, taken the BTC and the fame and used that to slingshot myself into a well paid position. NOT EVEN to mention that the media doxxed his house, his name and how even to get to his house lmfao. I think this guy wanted the attention but wasn't prepared for the backlash.

@@PhurPher I don't think he was behind it at all. I think that the Korean malware developers were actually really smart when they included that kill switch. It's something that the average common man wouldn't do. Only a malware researcher would register the domain visible after looking at the instructions the malware had. It's basically the best version of a "Debug" check or "VM" check. Once you have a malware researcher reversing your malware, it's the time you stop using it and move on. And on top of that, the kill switch wouldn't be done by them, it would automatically be activated by the malware researcher meaning they wouldn't be fucked by it.

​@@blocksource4192That makes ... No sense whatsoever. Why would the malware creator want to shut down the virus after someone reverse engineered it? It's not like the malware was designed to self destruct after the Killswitch was activated, a copy of the executable is available to this day for people to download. The only thing the Killswitch does is exactly as advertised, it prevented the proliferation of the worm, which would bring him/her absolutely no benefit whatsoever (unless making money wasn't the primary goal, but moreso exposure). In that case, then a Killswitch like this makes perfect sense. If the creators were worried about getting caught, like you insinuated, then they likely would include at least some form of self destruction (which isn't hard to implement at all) to at least hide the evidence.

They were attacked with ransomware 3 times in 2 weeks, each time the ransom payments were higher, totaling around $100k, and the doctor just paid it, didn’t want to get the police involved, didn’t make waves about it, he just paid it from the company account.

I doubt it. Remember crime is still very much a business, just an illegitimate one. If one does not follow through on either the carrot or the stick, then you can't run a business; the carrot being decryption and the stick being permanent encryption/deletion. The ransom becoming bigger is just the criminals seeing the doctors as "repeat customers". Another thing to keep in mind is that many businesses are notoriously bad at updating their computers nevermind good cybersecurity practices. More than likely the doctors didn't update their computers, had bad passwords or would open up emails with trojans, etc. More than likely he was just paying it because it was quicker and easier than say restoring from backups (assuming they had any). Restoring a computer isn't exactly a quick process, keeping in mind that they needed the computer at that moment as they were serving their patients.

Sometimes it’s an image thing too; like for a medical practice to admit it would be admitting potentially incredibly sensitive medical information about patients had been compromised - Not paying it (if they didnt have a backup) would mean loss of that data too; which could lead to delays in patients getting treatment for things that are time sensitive

This is why privacy is so important, and is exactly what Snowden warned us about. The government had access to all the data indicating the truth, and still used it to frame Marcus in a negative way. Creating malicious programs is exactly how cybersecurity is done, and it's unfortunate Marcus was blackmailed in this way.

While you may be somewhat correct, “in spirit”, you are, generally and practically, wrong. The truth is, you can lie to law enforcement(federal and/or state) all day long, except when law enforcement is acting in their official capacity, and/or in relation to a legitimate, official case/investigation(every agency can and many times will have their own internal jargon/lingo). If you are ever in doubt, always default to: I refuse to answer any question, as is my right, which is protected by the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution(no US citizen has any “Constitutional Rights”, we have many rights, some of which are specifically enumerated and protected by, among other things, specific Amendments to the US Constitution. If our “rights” were provided by the US Constitution, they wouldn’t be rights; they would privileges, which can be taken away) and reaffirmed by, among other “caselaw”, Miranda v. Arizona(which is where the “Miranda Warning” originates from). I want my lawyer(amend all of that, as desired, to suit your needs…and then STFU(shut the fuck up). Also be aware that if you are ever arrested, law enforcement doesn’t have to “Mirandize”(read the “Miranda Warning” to you) you until just prior to any interrogating/interviewing/questioning. If you do or say anything prior to that, that will be admissible in court(such as a “voluntary utterance”, for example), unless law enforcement actively compels you to provide a comment/statement, or otherwise engaged you without “Mirandizing” you first. Everyone also needs to understand that you need to invoke your rights protected by the Fifth Amendment and Miranda v Arizona(which I disagree with and find reprehensible, but that doesn’t matter); invocation of your rights, at least in matters related to this, isn’t automatic. To be clear and fair, your first sentence is correct. I would add a bit to that comment: Never, ever, under any circumstances, talk to law enforcement. They cannot and will not(generally) help you. The only caveat to that is, if you are required to provide information by law(i.e. in Georgia, the state I live in, as written In the O.C.G.A.(Official Code Of Georgia Annotated, aka “state law”), a person may be compelled to provide their name and date of birth to law enforcement if, as an example, said person is witness to criminal acts and law enforcement wishes to include said person’s statement in their reports/supplemental reports). That does not mean that you have to provide any and/or all information demanded by law enforcement; you don’t have to necessarily do that. Learn, at the very least, some US and state(i.e. the state you live in and, preferably, any state you frequently visit) as ignorance of the law(at least under US Jurisprudence) is never an excuse.

Ransomware is great for money and collecting information, but nationstate actors often have motives of disrupting other countries for the benefit of their country. In addition it's possible to set it up as a cover, so instead of leaving all the forensic evidence on the machines you go about deleting all of them instead. Because there was no attribution at the time and the malware hadn't been decompiled at that point there was no knowing what registering that domain was going to do. There was no more reason to include a killswitch than there is to have a second stage. The issue is that nobody knew anything at that point, he just did so with reckless abandon and happened to get lucky.

hacker here The reason that the killswitch exist in wannacry is because it's an method of sandbox detection basically an option antivirus has to to check an executable for a virus is to simulate a windows environment and just run the executable in it to see what it does. It can't actually connect to the internet is such an environment, so you have to fake any connection that is made. If the malware tests for this, it connects to a domain the author thinks doesn't exist, and if the connection is succesfull, it assumes it's sandboxed and doesn't do anything malicious. By registering that domain he accidently tricked every instance of wannacry that's connected to the internet that it's running in a sandbox.

@snappie4180
@snappie4180 Ай бұрын
​@@zer0dayexploit It wasn't mean to be a global killswitch Before you run a file your antivirus might try to sandbox it and see what it does. It's just antivirus evasion. Antivirus software has started employing sandbox strategies. If it's a file from an untrusted source, or it's in a secure corporate setting where antivirus checks all exe files before being run, the antivirus uses a sandbox to check what the executable does. If it acts suspiciously in the sandbox phase, it's not run for real. This malware checks for a sandbox by making a request to a non existing website with a long string for a name. If it gets an answer it concludes that it's being sandboxed and turns off. The hope is that it's not flagged malicious in the sandbox check. If it's not flagged as malicious by this and all other checks then it's run for real, where it can encrypt all the files and whatnot. However, since the malware used a hardcoded web domain , once someone actually registered that domain it concludes it's being sandboxed when it's actually running for real. This happens because the malware successfully connects to that domain which it used for the sandbox check. It could have been done better, if it didn't use a hardcoded domain to check against but just generated a new nonsense one every time, the global killswitch wouldn't have existed. Or in short: A check that made to bypass sandboxes accidently turned into global kill switch. Hope that clarifies things. If you need clarification I'll be happy to provide it.

One of the times it went down and I was speaking with a guy who worked in the computer room who told me they didn't know how to get it back up. I went into the system and got it running again. After this I was told they went around asking if there was anyone else besides me they thought had the skills to bring the system down and no other names came up. So next thing I knew I received a letter from the college informing me if the system went down again I would be expelled. I was very concerned with this. Fortunately it was found out before it went down again that the system was crashing itself; there was a bug in the software. Had this not been found I probably would have been kicked out and probably unable to enter and graduate at any other college as well

@@5000Seabass In most cases, at least when a friend of mine got bit by this, I just told them to e-mail the ransomer in person and tell them you aren't a business owner, nor do you have anything major of value, but that his worm locked and encrypted pictures of his kids and family and you'd like them back. Surprisingly, he did. Unsurprisingly, he got sent a decryption key. Didn't bother the hacker in the least, he isn't getting shit from some approaching middle age man, nor was that his target.

I suspect this was also a massive weight lifted in ways people may not realize. Assuming the video is true and sufficiently accurate... Marcus started as the kid who didn't fit in. Find a group of people to relate to, who were bad apples. Later unknowingly got into bad situation, which Marcus at his core being a good person, deeply regretted once he realized the wrongs had done. Only to be manipulated into continuing those wrongs. The process of being caught by the FBI and going through the court process, in addition to his contributions to stopping Wannacry, likely has cleared up a decade or two of regret and guilt sitting deep inside of him.

ALSO. why you think the fbi will let hackers WORK FOR THEM that "tried" to hack into the system hmm, they will give that so called "hacker" a deal..... 15 years in prison or WORK FOR the cyber team, and most take the deal of what the fbi gave them.

What an inspiring speech from the judge, if we're all to agree that we want our justice system to aid in making society better, that means having a justice system that strives for rehabilitation whenever possible. The judge clearly saw this man's personal journey, going from using his skills to hurt others to instead help save others. And not only that, but with a technology that more and more greatly affects our lives. There's no need for punishment when someone has corrected their ways, and is striving to help people. I'm so glad that the judge decided to allow Marcus to continue to do the good that he currently does, it's how the justice system should be.
