The latest ransomware campaign has already created a lots of havoc across the world. US, Europe, and India are the countries which have been heavily affected by the latest Ransomware campaign.
Researchers are doing hard work to find a fix for Petya. They have also termed Petya as a wiper, which is much more worse than ransomware. Researcher Matt Suiche, founder of security firm Comae had examined Petya and found that Petya is actually a wiper which is deleting all the first sector of the disk.
The security firm, Kaspersky had also analyzed the installation id that displayed on a victim’s screen, which they say is just generating random data. The security firm says that the attacker can’t actually decrypt the disk after getting the ransom since it doesn’t have any decryption key.
The first version of Petya had appeared in 2016 and it was created by Janus Cybercrime solution. When the first version of Petya came in the spotlight, the Twitter account of Janus @JanusSecretary was deactivated. However, after the new version of Petya which is also known as NonPetya made the appearance in 2017, the Twitter account of Janus was reactivated.
