Please note this threat is still under investigation. The attack is still active, and there is a possibility that the attacker will attempt to react to our detection response. + +## Attack vector + +Ransomware threats do not typically spread rapidly. Threats like WannaCrypt (also known as WannaCry, WanaCrypt0r, WCrypt, or WCRY) usually leverage social engineering or email as primary attack vector, relying on users downloading and executing a malicious payload. However, in this unique case, the ransomware perpetrators used publicly available exploit code for the patched SMB 'EternalBlue' vulnerability, [CVE-2017-0145](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-0145), which can be triggered by sending a specially crafted packet to a targeted SMBv1 server. This vulnerability was fixed in security bulletin [MS17-010](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms17-010.aspx), which was released on March 14, 2017. + +WannaCrypt's spreading mechanism is borrowed from [well-known](https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/142464/MS17-010-SMBv1-SrvOs2FeaToNt-OOB-Remote-Code-Execution.html) [public SMB exploits](https://github.com/RiskSense-Ops/MS17-010), which armed this regular ransomware with worm-like functionalities, creating an entry vector for machines still unpatched even after the fix had become available. + +The exploit code used by WannaCrypt was designed to work only against unpatched Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 (or earlier OS) systems, so Windows 10 PCs are not affected by this attack. + +We haven't found evidence of the exact initial entry vector used by this threat, but there are two scenarios that we believe are highly possible explanations for the spread of this ransomware: + +- Arrival through social engineering emails designed to trick users to run the malware and activate the worm-spreading functionality with the SMB exploit +- Infection through SMB exploit when an unpatched computer is addressable from other infected machines + +## Dropper + +The threat arrives as a dropper Trojan that has the following two components: + +1.

However, if the connection fails, the threat proceeds to drop the ransomware and creates a service on the system. + +In other words, unlike in most malware infections, **IT Administrators should NOT block these domains**. Note that the malware is not proxy-aware, so a local DNS record may be required. This does not need to point to the Internet, but can resolve to any accessible server which will accept connections on TCP 80. + +![Connection information from WannaCrypt code](images/wanna1.png) + +The threat creates a service named *mssecsvc2.0*, whose function is to exploit the SMB vulnerability in other computers accessible from the infected system: +``` +Service Name: mssecsvc2.0 +Service Description: (Microsoft Security Center (2.0) Service) +Service Parameters: '-m security' +``` + + ![Mssecsvc2.0 process details](images/wanna2.png) + +## WannaCrypt ransomware + +The ransomware component is a dropper that contains a password-protected .zip archive in its resource section.
