WannaCry Warstory Talk

[Glenn Pegden 25]

I had the pleasure of being in the audience at BSides Liverpool when Jamie Hankins (aka 2Sec4u) told his WannaCry story. For those that don't know, he was the analyst that worked alongside Marcus "MalwareTech" Hutchins on both the initial analysis and keeping the sink hole up afterwards.

He initially didn't want it being available online, but today he's changed his mind and it's well worth a watch. Oh and it's VERY SWEARY in places (you have been warned).

jamie deserves a shit ton of credit for running it, keeping it alive despite absurd problems. he is fantastic at taking feedback from the community and making sure his company's projects are not stomping on investigations. he's humble and has good instincts.

ever since those events, he's grown in his career and stayed out of the spotlight for the most part, and you should buy him a beer if you ever see him
