Updated May 16, One of the features of Bitcoin is a public ledger that records all transactions ever made in the currency. Using the Bitcoin payment addresses, it is possible to track how much money has been transferred to the criminals behind the worldwide attack. Brian Lord, managing director of cyber and technology at cyber security firm PGI, said victims had told him "the customer service provided by the criminals is second-to-none", with helpful advice on how to pay.
Monday was the first big test for Asia, where offices had already mostly been closed for the weekend before the attack first arrived. The Federal Government has confirmed that 12 Australian businesses had "likely" been affected by the ransomware. Major cyber security firms Symantec Corp and Kaspersky Lab said they were looking into clues that may connect the global attack with programs previously attributed to North Korea.
The two companies said some code in an earlier version of the WannaCry ransomware had also appeared in programs used by the Lazarus Group, which researchers from many companies said was run by North Korea. Britain's National Cyber Security Centre are hailing a year-old computer security whiz who appeared to have helped stop the attack as a hero, after he discovered a "kill switch" — an internet address that halted the virus when activated.
Individual European countries and the United States saw infections at a rate of only 10 per cent to 20 per cent of the most affected countries, according to the researcher who stumbled on the kill switch. The virus hit computers running older versions of Microsoft Corp software that had not been recently updated. Microsoft released patches last month and on Friday to fix a vulnerability that allowed the worm to spread across networks.
