This presentation lets you understand about the biggest cyber-attack extortion in the history of the internet. It contains all details of what, how and whys of WannaCry Ransomware.
I presented this slides in the "Privacy Protection" subject, teached by Prof. Josep Domingo-Ferrer in the Master in Computer Security Engineering and Artificial Intelligence.
Cyber extortion is a crime involving an attack or threat of attack against an enterprise, coupled with a demand for money to stop the attack.
Cyber extortions have taken on multiple forms - encrypting data and holding it hostage, stealing data and threatening exposure, and denying access to data.
Malware locks out the user’s system and demands ransom.
Creates “Zombie Computer” operated remotely.
Individuals and business targeted.
This form of extortion works on the assumption that the data is important enough to the user that they are willing to pay for recovery.
There is however no guarantee of actual recovery, even after payment is made.
The first known ransomware was the 1989 "AIDS" trojan (also known as "PC Cyborg") written by Joseph Popp.
This presentation is about Ransomware. It tells you about how ransomware creates problem and how it can be removed. It also describes different types of Ransomware.

Ransomware is a PC or Mac-based malicious piece of software that encrypts a user or company’s files and forces them to pay a fee to the hacker in order to regain access to their own files.
Not only can ransomware encrypt the files on your computer; the software is smart enough to travel across your network and encrypt any files located on shared network drives. This can lead to a catastrophic situation whereby one infected user can bring an entire company to a halt.
A global ransomware threat is affecting Windows systems, and this has brought down computer systems in nearly 74 countries around the world. Once affected, data recovery from the infected system is almost impossible. Read this article to see how you can tackle the Ransomware threat.
WannaCry Ransomware attack has affected a lot of endpoints in the networks of hospitals, educational organizations, Government sector etc. This has led to the negative consequences on the businesses causing loss of data, thus hampering the business continuity.
Brief study of Wannacry and the massive attack that took place on May 12, 2017, where the Spanish telecommunications company Telefónica was one of the first victims of this ransomware.

Cyphort Labs presents "Malware's Most Wanted: Ransomware Resurgence: Locky and Other “New Cryptolockers”
Like many viruses, botnets and malware families that we’ve seen over the past decade, hackers continue to find new ways of reinventing old threats. And this is no different for Ransomware.
Ransomware has come a long way from non-encrypting lockscreen FBI scare warnings like Reveton. In 2016 alone, there have been new ransomware families popping up and we expect that to only pick up steam over the summer.
In this edition of MMW, Nick Bilogorskiy, Senior Director of Threat Operations at Cyphort, will discuss:
Locky, the new “it” ransomware and how it works
A deep dive into a new family of ransom locker discovered by Cyphort Labs in March, that uses TOR Hidden Service
Other new ransomware families and why it’s becoming the preferred monetization method for attackers

How does your organization orient, train, and develop employees? Please share an example.
Solution
Once the organization recruits the employees they should be provided with orientation, training
and development to ensure that the employees work as per the expectations. Orientation process
involves introducing the new employees to the organization and orientation has various elements
which include describing the organization and department functions, specification of job tasks
and responsibilities, explaining the current plans to the new employees and introducing the new
employees to the coworkers. Sometimes the employees are provided with the policy handbook
which helps to understand the personal policies. In my organization we were given employee
orientation in the first day by a senior manager in the organization. He explained us the basic
details about the organization, what are the different departments in the organization and the key
functions performed by each department. The company policies also were explained to us
including the dos and don’ts in the workplace. We were given a brief introduction about what
will be our job responsibilities and the company goals. Later we were taken to our work place
and introduced to the project members.
Training is the process of teaching the skills required to perform a job to the employees and
mostly teaches the technical skills required to perform the job efficiently. Development is
intended to improve the skills of the employees which can be utilized in future as well which
include skills like communication, interpersonal and decision making skills. The training can be
given in classrooms which are known as off the job training and on the job training is given at
the work environment and the employees are trained by the manager or senior members on how
to perform the job. After orientation our training started on the next day and we were given
training and development classes in a class room setting as the part of off–the-job training. The
training helped to develop our technical as well as nontechnical skills. Once it got completed we
were sent to the work site and our senior members provided on-the-job training as well on the
steps to perform the job..
As Ransomware threats continue to rise, it's important to understand how to protect yourself and your organization against these cyber attacks and what you should do if you become a victim.

Enhancing Research Orchestration Capabilities at ORNL.pdfGlobus
Cross-facility research orchestration comes with ever-changing constraints regarding the availability and suitability of various compute and data resources. In short, a flexible data and processing fabric is needed to enable the dynamic redirection of data and compute tasks throughout the lifecycle of an experiment. In this talk, we illustrate how we easily leveraged Globus services to instrument the ACE research testbed at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility with flexible data and task orchestration capabilities.
Code reviews are vital for ensuring good code quality. They serve as one of our last lines of defense against bugs and subpar code reaching production.
Yet, they often turn into annoying tasks riddled with frustration, hostility, unclear feedback and lack of standards. How can we improve this crucial process?
In this session we will cover:
- The Art of Effective Code Reviews
- Streamlining the Review Process
- Elevating Reviews with Automated Tools
By the end of this presentation, you'll have the knowledge on how to organize and improve your code review proces
Exploring Innovations in Data Repository Solutions - Insights from the U.S. G...Globus
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.
Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

2. What made us cry?
> On May 12, 2017 the world witnessed the biggest ever cyber-attack in the history
of internet, WannaCry - a ransomware which rendered computers across the
globe useless.
> WannaCry hit more than 200,000 organizations from over 150 countries,
shutting down everything from telecoms in Spain to the Interior ministry of
Russia, and affecting 47 NHS trusts in United Kingdom.
> It spreads to other computers via a Server Message Block (SMB) remote code
execution vulnerability in Microsoft Windows computers (MS17-010). This
exploit is named as Eternal Blue.
> This malware locked all the data in the computer and displayed a message
demanding a ransom in exchange to unblock the data.
> The message also indicated that the payment amount will be doubled after
three days. Also, the files will be deleted if payment is not made after seven
days.
Image source: Symantec
3. > Ransomware is a malicious software program which encrypts all data in a computer
and blocks access to them.
> Often, this malware masquerades as an innocent email attachment or a legitimate
website link conning users to open it.
> Once this malicious file is opened, it attacks the hard drive and encrypts all the files.
> A ransom is demanded for decrypting the files and if the user doesn't oblige, the files
will be deleted. A very short time frame, usually just a few days, is imposed to rack up
pressure.
> The ransom is demanded to be paid in the form of digital currency.
> The use of ransomeware has become an increasing trend among hackers looking for a
quick payout.
What is ransomware?
4. > WannaCry ransomware demanded $300 worth of the crypto-currency Bitcoin to
decrypt the contents of the affected computers.
> The payment was demanded in bitcoins as this digital currency, popular among
cybercriminals, is decentralised, unregulated and impossible to trace.
> Though $300 might look very small, multiplied by 300,000, the approximate
number of computers affected by WannaCry, the amount becomes humongous.
> But the more important cost - the time lost, the files damaged beyond repair and
other unexpected collateral damage caused by the malware, will be very difficult
to ascertain.
How much was demanded? Why in bitcoins?
5. > WannaCry shutdown many businesses across the globe, including the European manufacturing plants
of automotive giants Nissan
> Healthcare sector was not spared too; Hospitals in UK, including London's Bart Health NHS Trust, had to
cut back services, and doctors were forced to turn away patients and cancel appointments, after being
forced to shut down equipment to avoid infection.
> Though all patients' records and doctors' filed are claimed to be unaffected by WannaCry, one can never
be sure.
> Overall, organizations are on an overdrive to address these challenges caused by WannaCry:
o Disrupted business operations

Impact of this attack
6. Were we saved?
> Marcus Hutchins, a cyber security analyst, offered a temporary solution for WannaCry ransomware.
> He analyzed the code used by the worm and found that it referenced a website URL which didn’t exist.
> He bought the domain for $10 and forwarded it to a sinkhole server where it couldn't do any damage. This acted
as a ‘kill switch’ to disable the code.
> Though this ingenious solution may have saved the day, he claims this is definitely not the end to ransomware
problems.
> His statement definitely hints that we could be in for a major war with ramsomware hackers.
Marcus Hutchins says:
“We have stopped this one, but there will be another one coming and it will not be stoppable by us.
There’s a lot of money in this. There’s no reason for them to stop. It’s not really much effort for them to
change the code and then start over. So there’s a good chance they are going to do it… maybe not this
weekend, but quite likely on Monday morning”.
7. > Victims are advised to not encourage the attackers by succumbing to their
demands. Also, there is no assurance that the affected files will be decrypted once
the ransom is paid.
> The best option is to restore the data from backup. If it isn't an option, try
decrypting the files using recovery tools.
> Work with data recovery experts who can reverse engineer malware and help gain
access to your data.
> Ransomware usually exploit the most recently discovered loopholes and
drawbacks in software systems‘. It is therefore prudent to have the anti-virus and
firewall programs always updated, to prevent infections from originating and
spreading.
If you're a victim, should you pay the ransom?
8. > Though WannaCry may have been stopped for now, it doesn’t mean you’re completely
immune to it.
> The WannaCry ransomware affects all machines that are using Windows operating
system.
> A security flaw, originally exploited by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), was
leaked. It is now being used by hackers to create havoc. If your system runs on
Windows OS, it could be at risk.
> Experts have predicted that many other ransomware strains will make a round soon.
Keep a lookout and secure all your data.
> Prevention is always better than cure. So, take all necessary precautions to save
yourself from the ransomware attack.
