Petya Ransomware Attack

The biggest nightmare for an individual in this digital age is to see an unauthorised debit in his bank account and realise he has been a victim of an online fraud

Experts said the new malware is significantly different from all earlier known versions of Petya

Other countries that were impacted include France, UK, Germany, China and Japan

Impact on more Indian companies is still being observed

IT firm Sophos said Petya is particularly 'virulent' as it spreads automatically within a network

Traffic control teams are being pressed into service to address potential road congestion

All people had to do to stay safe from Petya and WannaCry was update their software
