What’s known
about the global cyberattack
them for ransom.
they move from place to place
until they end up with an identi-
fiable person.
So far, there have been no
withdrawals from those accounts.
Given the scope of the attack,
relatively few people appear to
have actually paid the ransom.
According to a Twitter account
that monitors those accounts,
they’ve received only about 250
payments worth a total of slight-
ly more than $72,000.
North Korea
Several sets of investigators
have now reported tentative
findings that suggest hackers
linked to North Korea might
have been involved with Wanna-
Cry. But they could all be draw-
ing conclusions from a very
small set of clues.
On Monday, the Russian secu-
rity firm Kaspersky Lab said por-
tions of the WannaCry program
use the same code as malware
previously distributed by the Laz-
arus Group, a hacker collective
behind the 2014 Sony hack. An-
other security company, Syman-
tec, related the same findings,
which it characterized as intrigu-
ing but “weak” associations, since
the code could have been copied
from the Lazarus malware.
Two law enforcement offi-
cials likewise said U.S. investiga-
tors suspect North Korea based
on code similarities; the officials
called that finding preliminary.
But WannaCry remains a
puzzle, in part because some of
its elements seemed amateur-
ish. Salim Neino, CEO of the Los
Angeles-based security firm
Kryptos Logic, said the Wanna-
Cry worm was “poorly designed”
— patched together and consist-
ing of a “sum of different parts”
Analysts look at
WannaCry fallout
ments or links. Analysts at the
European Union cybersecurity
agency said the hackers likely
scanned the internet for systems
that were vulnerable to infection
and exploited those computers
remotely.
Once established, WannaCry
encrypted computer files and
displayed a message demanding
$300 to $600 worth of the digi-
tal currency bitcoin to release
them. Failure to pay would leave
the data scrambled and likely
beyond repair unless users had
unaffected backup copies.
Ransom payments
Investigators are closely
watching three bitcoin accounts
associated with WannaCry,
where its victims were directed
to send ransom payments. The
digital currency is anonymized,
but it’s possible to track funds as
with an unsophisticated pay-
ment system.
Sign of hacks to come
WannaCry could also serve
as a kind of template for future
cyberattacks.
Neino of Kryptos Logic said
the leak of the NSA hacking
tools have significantly narrow-
ed the gap between nations and
individuals or cyber gangs.
“The concern has always
been, when are the real bad
guys, the ones that don’t care
about rules of engagement, the
ones who are really out to hurt
us, will they become cyber-capa-
ble?” he said Monday. “I think
today we found out that those
who really want to hurt us have
begun to, because they became
cyber-capable the moment that
the NSA cybertools were re-
leased.”
Where it came from
Researchers are still puzzling
out how WannaCry got started.
Figuring that out could yield im-

Mexico City
Six journalists killed
in Mexico since March
Indian village. Days later, anoth-
er woman was abducted and
gang raped in a moving car in a
New Delhi suburb.
The two crimes were remi-
niscent of the horrific 2012
deadly gang rape in New Delhi
that spurred widespread pro-
tests and harsher punishments
for perpetrators. Yet they oc-
curred just after India’s Su-
preme Court upheld death sen-
tences for the rapists in that
2012 case.
Perpetrators still “feel they
can get away with crimes against
women,” said Jagmati Sangwan,
of the All India Democratic
Women’s Association. “There is
no fear of the police or the law.”
The problem, Sangwan said,
is that there are few cases that
actually make it to trial and con-
viction. Police are registering
more rape cases than before the
laws were strengthened — with
34,651 counted in 2015, com-
pared with 24,157 in 2012.

morning with her young son.
Gunmen ambush another jour-
nalist while he lazes in a car
wash hammock. An award-win-
ning reporter is hauled out of his
vehicle and gunned down a
block from his office.
On Monday, Javier Valdez
became the sixth journalist slain
in Mexico since early March, a
deadly spree unusual even in a
country that ranks behind only
Syria and Afghanistan for such
murders.
