p ed in the wall street journal stating we do not make this allegation lightly it is based on evidence 95 in a press conference the following day bossert stated that the evidence indicated that kim jong un had given the order to launch the malware attack 96 bossert stated that canada new zealand and japan agreed with the united states assessment of the evidence linking the attack to north korea 97 while the united kingdom s foreign and commonwealth office expressed support for the united states assertion 98 north korea denied responsibility for the cyberattack 99 100 on 6 september 2018 the u s department of justice doj announced formal charges against park jin hyok for his alleged involvement in the sony pictures hack of 2014 the doj stated that park was a north korean hacker working as part of a team affiliated with the north korean reconnaissance general bureau the department of justice further claimed this team was also involved in the wannacry attack among other activities 101 102 in february 2021 the doj unsealed charges against park and two other north korean hackers jon chang hyok and kim il for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud the indictment alleged that the three were part of the reconnaissance general bureau and that their group was responsible for the 2017 wannacry attacks 103 impact edit edit source map of the countries initially affected 104 the ransomware campaign was unprecedented in scale according to europol 39 which estimates that around 200 000 computers were infected across 150 countries according to kaspersky lab the four most affected countries were russia ukraine india and taiwan 105 one of the largest agencies struck by the attack was the national health service hospitals in england and scotland 106 107 and up to 70 000 devices including computers mri scanners blood storage refrigerators and theatre equipment may have been affected 108 a national audit office investigation found that at least 81 of the 236 nhs trusts in england were affected 109 on 12 may some nhs services had to turn away non critical emergencies and some ambulances were diverted 110 111 in 2016 thousands of computers in 42 separate nhs trusts in england were reported to be still running windows xp 42 in 2018 a report by members of parliament concluded that all 200 nhs hospitals or other organisations checked in the wake of the wannacry attack still failed cybersecurity checks 112 113 nhs hospitals in wales and northern ireland were unaffected by the attack 110 114 nissan motor manufacturing uk in tyne and wear england halted production after the ransomware infected some of their systems renault also stopped production at several sites in an attempt to stop the spread of the ransomware 115 116 spain s telefónica fedex and germany s deutsche bahn were hit along with many other countries and companies worldwide 117 118 119 the attack s impact is said to be relatively low compared to other potential attacks of the same type and could have been much worse had hutchins not discovered that a kill switch had been built in by its creators 120 121 or if it had been specifically targeted on highly critical infrastructure like nuclear power plants dams or railway systems 122 123 according to cyber risk modelling firm cyence economic losses from the cyber attack could reach up to us 4 billion with other groups estimating the losses to be in the hundreds of millions 124 affected organisations edit edit source the following is an alphabetical list of organisations confirmed to have been affected andhra pradesh police india

of control over the eternalblue attack tool that exploited it edward snowden said that if the nsa had privately disclosed the flaw used to attack hospitals when they found it not when they lost it the attack may not have happened 111 british cybersecurity expert graham cluley also sees some culpability on the part of the u s intelligence services according to him and others they could have done something ages ago to get this problem fixed and they didn t do it he also said that despite obvious uses for such tools to spy on people of interest they have a duty to protect their countries citizens 167 others have also commented that this attack shows that the practice of intelligence agencies to stockpile exploits for offensive purposes rather than disclosing them for defensive purposes may be problematic 121 microsoft president and chief legal officer brad smith wrote repeatedly exploits in the hands of governments have leaked into the public domain and caused widespread damage an equivalent scenario with conventional weapons would be the u s military having some of its tomahawk missiles stolen 168 169 170 russian president vladimir putin placed the responsibility of the attack on u s intelligence services for having created eternalblue 156 on 17 may 2017 united states bipartisan lawmakers introduced the patch act 171 that aims to have exploits reviewed by an independent board to balance the need to disclose vulnerabilities with other national security interests while increasing transparency and accountability to maintain public trust in the process 172 on 15 june 2017 the united states congress was to hold a hearing on the attack 173 two subpanels of the house science committee were to hear the testimonies from various individuals working in the government and non governmental sector about how the u s can improve its protection mechanisms for its systems against similar attacks in the future 173 marcus hutchins a cybersecurity researcher working in loose collaboration with uk s national cyber security centre 174 175 researched the malware and discovered a kill switch 57 later globally dispersed security researchers collaborated online to develop open source tools 176 177 that allow for decryption without payment under some circumstances 178 snowden states that when nsa enabled ransomware eats the internet help comes from researchers not spy agencies and asks why this is the case 175 179 180 adam segal director of the digital and cyberspace policy program at the council on foreign relations stated that the patching and updating systems are broken basically in the private sector and in government agencies 121 in addition segal said that governments apparent inability to secure vulnerabilities opens a lot of questions about backdoors and access to encryption that the government argues it needs from the private sector for security 121 arne schönbohm president of germany s federal office for information security bsi stated that the current attacks show how vulnerable our digital society is it s a wake up call for companies to finally take it security seriously 181 united kingdom edit edit source the effects of the attack also had political implications in the united kingdom the impact on the national health service quickly became political with claims that the effects were exacerbated by government underfunding of the nhs in particular the nhs ceased its paid custom support arrangement to continue receiving support for unsupported microsoft software used within the organization including windows xp 182 home secretary amber rudd refused to say whether patient data had been backed up and shadow health secretary jon ashworth accused health secretary jeremy hunt of refusing to act on a critical note from microsoft the national cyber security centre ncsc and the national crime agency that had been received two months previously 183 others argued that hardware and software vendors often fail to account for future security flaws selling systems that due to their technical design and market incentives eventually won t be able to properly receive and apply patches 184 the nhs denied that it was still using xp claiming only 4 7 of devices within the organization ran windows xp 45 185 the cost of the attack to the nhs was estimated as 92 million in disruption to services and it upgrades 186 after the attack nhs digital refused to finance the estimated 1 billion to meet the cyber essentials plus standard an information security certification organized by the uk ncsc saying this would not constitute value for money and that it had invested over 60 million and planned to spend a further 150 million over the next two years to address key cyber security weaknesses 187 in popular culture edit edit source in 2026 australian producer and dj ninajirachi and american musician porter robinson released the single wannacry which they originally debuted at the coachella valley music and arts festival 188 the song is written from the perspective of the ransomware reframing the cyberattack through themes of affection and rejection see also edit edit source bluekeep computer
