Microsoft caught North Korea in the creation of the virus WannaCry

Experts from the American company managed to find the culprit of the global spread of a computer virus.

North Korean authorities could use cyberinsurance stolen from the national security Agency of the United States.

For a cyber attack WannaCry virus that struck in may 2017 up to 300 thousand computers of companies and government agencies in at least 150 countries, with a high probability North Korea is responsible.

This was stated by the President of company Microsoft brad Smith in an interview with ITV News.

He noted that “with certainty” suspects Pyongyang of hacking attack may 12, 2017. Smith believes that the North Korean authorities used cyberinsurance stolen from the national security Agency of the United States. The Microsoft Chairman drew attention to the fact that cyber attacks sponsored by governments of different countries have become much more frequent and serious.

He called on governments to attend to the protection of its citizens from such harm.

“We need to collect all of the government, as was done at Geneva in 1949 to accept the “Digital Geneva Convention”, which will establish that cyber attacks against citizens, especially in time of peace, have no boundaries and are a violation of international law,” Smith said.

In addition, he urged not to use outdated software, particularly the operating system Windows XP, noting that this system is still used by many public institutions, particularly hospitals, which have become the victim of the virus in may.
