Previously, security experts scanned the email networks of those NHS trusts affected and found no evidence the Wanna Decryptor, or WannaCry ransomware, came from staff inadvertently clicking on a dodgy link in an email.

There is shared code between WannaCry and Backdoor.Contopee, which has previously been linked to Lazarus. Backdoor.Bravonc has similar code obfuscation as WannaCry and Infostealer.Fakepude, also linked to Lazarus. Trojan.Bravonc used the same IP addresses for command and control as Backdoor.Duuzer and Backdoor.Destover, both of which have been linked to Lazarus. Trojan.Alphanc, which was used to spread WannaCry in the March and April attacks, is a modified version of Backdoor.Duuzer, previously linked to Lazarus. Three pieces of malware linked to Lazarus found on the victim’s network: Trojan.Volgmer and two variants of Backdoor.Destover, the disk-wiping tool used in the Sony Pictures attacks. In particular, Symantec tied the ransomware to the hacking group through a number of similar pieces of code contained within it that were used by the group in the Sony Pictures hack and elsewhere. "Analysis of these early WannaCry attacks by Symantec’s Security Response Team revealed substantial commonalities in the tools, techniques, and infrastructure used by the attackers and those seen in previous Lazarus attacks, making it highly likely that Lazarus was behind the spread of WannaCry," the company said in a blog post. It is not the first time the hacking organisation has been connected to the ransomware that significantly impacted the NHS. The group has strong links to North Korea, although it is not known who the leadership behind Lazarus is. According to a recent report by the BBC, security officials believe that the Lazarus group launched the attack. Security officials in the UK have claimed the WannaCry ransomware has links to a hacking group that's associated with North Korea.

"It sounds to me as though an external storage device may have been introduced to Honda's network which begs as many questions as to why the company had not immunised itself by deploying the latest operating system patches, all the way back to Windows XP."
