World’s Deadliest Malware WannaCry Back In News Again, But This Time Could Serve as Inspiration To Thwart Digital Threats

Arguably deliest piece of malware in world, WannaCry has now found its way out again albeit as a work of art by an artist called Guo O Dong, with artwork being dubbed “ Persistence of Chaos”. Persistence of Chaos is now on display.  

here to check out Persistence of Display now; here, WannaCry is loed onto a Samsung laptop – 2008 model running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3. This device contains WannaCry along with five or dely viruses viz ILoveYou, MyDoom., DarkTequila, BlackEnergy, and SoBig. estimated financial losses that se cyberattacks caused is said to be nearly USD 95 billion. In image displayed below, this infected host system is completely isolated and airgapped to check spreing of dely malware.  

For  Persistence of Chaos, Guo O Dong reportedly partnered with Deep Instinct which is a cybersecurity firm. most interesting aspect is that Persistence of Chaos was also open for bidding. You could have bid for this “infected laptop” which in its current state might not be able to cause unwanted incidents as far as cyberattacks are concerned, considering that it has been air gapped.  

As far as intentions behind Persistence of Chaos is concerned, infected system apparently seems to be a real-world representation of threats that dangerous malware represent.  

“ malware of Persistence of Chaos have caused over $95 billion dollars’ worth of damage, simply because businesses weren’t prepared for attacks y haven’t seen before” states a statement on official Deep Instinct portal representing Persistence of Chaos.  

In summary, WannaCry with or malware wreaked cyber havoc almost throughout world; now, with  graphical  (and real world) representation of how this took place, having Persistence of Chaos as a representation by companies near ir entrances could help trigger inspiration to implement secure digital practices.
