Honeypot Server Gets Infected with WannaCry Ransomware 6 Times in 90 Minutes

The WannaCry ransomware has infected a honeypot server made to look like a vulnerable Windows computer six times in the span of 90 minutes, according to a French security researcher that goes online by the name of Benkow. The test shows how quickly new infections will be made if a kill-switch wasn’t discovered in the ransomware’s code. The authors of the ransomware have used only three Bitcoin addresses to receive payments. The gang has made over 223,000 victims since it started to spread on Friday afternoon.
