Wana Decrypt0r 2.0 Ransomware

Overview

We are aware of a widespread ransomware attack which is affecting several IT organizations in multiple countries.

A new ransomware attack called Wanna (also known as WannaCry, WCry, WanaCrypt, WanaCrypt0r and Wana DeCrypt0r) is encrypting files

and changing the extensions to: .wnry, .wcry, .wncry and .wncrypt.

The malware then presents a window to the user with a ransom demand.

The ransomware spreads rapidly, like a worm, by exploiting a Windows vulnerability in the Windows Server Message Block (SMB) service,

which Windows computers use to share files and printers across local networks. Microsoft addressed the issue in its MS17-010 bulletin.

Analysis seems to confirm that the attack was launched using suspected NSA code leaked by a group of hackers known as the Shadow Brokers.

It uses a variant of the ShadowBrokers APT EternalBlue Exploit (CC-1353). It uses strong encryption on files such as documents, images, and videos.

Sophos Customers using Intercept X and Sophos EXP products will also see this ransomware blocked by CryptoGuard.

Please note that while Intercept X and EXP will block the underlying behavior and restore deleted or encrypted files in all cases we have seen,

the offending ransomware splashscreen and note may still appear.

Sophos has issued protection for this threat:

What to do

Please ensure all of your Windows environments have been updated as described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS17-010 – Critical. Microsoft is providing Customer Guidance for WannaCrypt attacks

Microsoft has made the decision to make the Security Update for platforms in custom support only, Windows XP, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2003, broadly available for download:

Applying the Microsoft patches MS17-010 should be enough to protect against the EternalBlue Exploit that enabled the rapid spread of the Wanna ransomware attack.

However some people are also advising customers to disable the protocol that is exploited by EternalBlue – SMB v1 especially if they cannot patch.

We do not believe that this is necessary if you are already patched, and it certainly does not mitigate the need to patch since there are other vulnerabilities in the Shadow Brokers leak,

but we understand why customers may wish to disable SMB v1 as a precaution.

Disabling SMB v1 could cause a range of software and other services that depend on SMB to stop functioning correctly,

so you should certainly test first if you do intend to disable it.

Please see the following article for information regarding disabling SMB v1 for Sophos

products: What to do if you decide to disable SMBv1 as a response to Wanna ransomware

The Wanna malware variants that we have seen include a lookup to a URL. If the malware gets a response, the attack stops.

This has been described in some media reports as a “kill switch”.

The domain for the URL was registered and activated by an independent malware analyst intending to track the malware,

meaning that if current variants of the ransomware can reach the URL the attack would stop.

As a result, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) provide this advice: Finding the kill switch to stop the spread of ransomware. NCSC recommends the following domains be whitelisted in your environment:

  • www[.]iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea[.]com
  • www[.]ifferfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea[.]com

(remove square brackets [] when whitelisting). Sophos has categorized these domains as Other/Computers & Internet.

Sophos Product Actions
Sophos Intercept X None required.
Central Server Protection Standard Ensure endpoints are updated with the latest threat protection (IDE’s).
Central Server Protection Advanced Ensure CryptoGuard is enabled.
Sophos EXP None required.
Sophos Endpoint Protection Ensure endpoints are updated with the latest threat protection (IDE’s).
Sophos XG Firewall Ensure your IPS and Application signatures are using version x.13.54 or higher
Sophos Home Ensure Sophos Home on protected computers is up to date.

Also consider signing up for the Sophos Home Premium beta,

which adds proactive protection against exploits and ransomware.

We will continue to update this article as further information becomes available.

SECURING ASTERISK BASE PHONE

System(Elastix,FreePBX,yeastar,zycoo) is an absolute must to prevent intruders from making calls that will cost you money. There are several stories where hackers took over a vulnerable system where the costs to the company were quite large, something you want to prevent. Taking a few simple precautions go a long way towards a making a more secure phone system. These steps are a must for most asterisk base telephone system installation; a few easy preventative steps that make intruders have a much harder time in compromising your SIP phone system. Unfortunately, there are free SIP scanners widely available that make it quite easy for hackers to locate a system and then use known flaws to obtain access, using various exploit tools like brute force. Once they gain access they use the extension to make thousands of international calls using compromised sip server. Fortunately, awareness of potential SIP vulnerabilities has increased and most installations of Asterisk have been hardened through a few steps.

5 Steps to Securing Asterisk base phone Securing Asterisk base phone Change default passwords. Certain default passwords that come with Linux, such as root and password need to be changed to one that is unique and follows password complexity rules. Additionally, disable the Alt+F9 access which bypasses directly to the administration console. Do not use the extension number as the SIP name. While convenience plays a part in making the extension number the same as the SIP entry, this will be the first guess of an attacker. Use strong passwords. Brute force attacks, where large numbers of word or number sequences are tried have become easier and quicker to launch now that processors are more robust. Make your systems more secure by using long passwords with a combination of letters, numbers, and other symbols using both upper and lower case. Limit access to SIP authentication. By restricting which IP addresses can access each user in the sip.conf file you can limit allowable requests to a reasonable set of IP addresses. This can be done by using permit= and deny= in the sip.conf file. Set your system to reject bad authentication requests. An option that will reject non-rusticated requests to valid usernames is alwaysauthreject=yes in the sip.conf file. This option will reject badhttp://netmateit.com
