UK Gov – National Cyber Security Centre | 13th May 2017:
Media reports today have rightly praised the efforts of MalwareTech to tackle the Wannacry cyber attack. The NCSC has been working in collaboration with a number organisations in the cyber security community, including MalwareTech and 2SEC4, to understand and mitigate the current Wannacry ransomware threat.
These industry partners have helped by offering us intelligence from the sinkholed Wannacry domain.
This sinkholed domain has prevented further infections occurring and has already resulted in preventing over 100,000 potential infections.
However, this action will not remediate infections that have already occurred. Currently, the best mitigation available to prevent infection by Wannacry is the guidance presented in this blog by MalwareTech and the latest ransomware guidance from the NCSC.
