Forensic linguistic analysis of wannacry points to Southern China

Forensic linguistic analysis of wannacry points to Southern China

YEREVAN, MAY 29, ARMENPRESS. The authors of the WannaCry ransomware, which recently infected computers in 150 countries two weeks ago, are probably from the southern mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan or Singapore, according to a US intelligence company, South China Morning Post reports.

Forensic linguistic analysis on the malware suggested it was written by native Chinese-speaking people with southern accents, said Flashpoint.

According to Flashpoint, the hackers had used Google Translate to write the ransom note.

In a report on its website, Flashpoint, which provides global business-risk intelligence, said it came to the conclusion with “high confidence”. Earlier reports based on code analysis suggested North Korean programmers at work.
