Wana Decrypt0r ransomware is an EternalBlue exploit, which is a cyberspying tool that was previously stolen from the National Security Agency (NSA) and leaked online in 2016 by a hacker group called Shadow Brokers. The NSA’s EternalBlue exploit targets Windows CVE-2017-0145 vulnerability in Microsoft’s implementation of SMB (Server Message Block) protocol even though the vulnerability has been patched since May 14th of 2017. This concludes that the ransomware infects outdated versions of Microsoft Windows.

The ransomware will use a trojan to drop the exploit on the computer it infects. The most recent variants of Wana Decrypt0r ransomware are distributed via girlfriendbeautiful[.]ga/hotgirljapan.jpg?i=1 in APAC region. Once the ransomware infects the targeted computer it creates a random folder in C:\ProgramData. The folder created by the ransomware contains executable files named tasksche.exe, mssecsvc.exe, and tasksche.exe; However, the mssecsvc.exe and tasksche.exe files can might also and only be found in C:\Windows.

The virus executes the Icacls . /grant Everyone:F /T /C /Q command in order to obtain complete access to all the files on the computer it infects. The ransomware will then connect to domain in order to infect the machine.
