Petya or NotPetya – what you need to know
On Monday, June 26, 2017, a new cyberattack with ransomware was launched: initially, many experts believed that the attack involved the known malware Petya (possibly with a few modifications). It was then determined, however, that merely the appearance of Petya was imitated, probably to lead people to draw the wrong conclusions. In the meantime, this attack is now known under the name NotPetya or Netya.
