Source evidence
1 src · 1 checkNoteThe claim requests verification of WannaCry's financial impact (~$1 billion) as of December 2017 from a specific Kaspersky press release URL. However, the source text excerpt provided contains only recent press releases from 2026 (April and March 2026 dates). The excerpt does not include any press releases or content from 2017 discussing WannaCry's financial impact. While the URL appears correct (kaspersky.com/about/press-releases/2017_wannacry-and-other-cyberattacks), the actual content from that page is not provided in the excerpt. The source may contain the relevant information at the full URL, but based on the excerpt provided, the specific claim about WannaCry's $1 billion financial impact cannot be verified or contradicted.
