As she described it, it was like "passing through a needle eye." ©2017 THOUGHTSKOTO www.jbsolis.com SEARCH JBSOLIS, TYPE KEYWORDS and TITLE OF ARTICLE at the box below Just over a month ago we reached out to you to educate you about the WannaCry ransomware that impacted more than 150 countries. Today we have another global cyberattack taking place. A new strain of ransomware is spreading rapidly. Called Petya, or Petwrap, ransomware, it has hit companies everywhere across Europe today, including Ukraine's government facilities, electric grids, banks, and public transportation, demanding a $300 ransom in Bitcoin in the process. It has since spread to companies around the world. So how does this Petya attack work, exactly? Going after Windows servers, PCs, and laptops, this cyberattack appears to be an "updated variant" of the Petya malware virus. It uses the SMB (Server Message Block) vulnerability that WannaCry did, however in the case of Petya it encrypts, among other files, your master boot file. These messages recommend you conduct a system reboot, after which the system is inaccessible. This basically means the operating system won't be able to locate files. Now, the next question is - does this affect you, and what should you do to stay secure? Though this attack is largely targeting companies, it's important you stay vigilant and take precautionary measures. We encourage you to follow these tips to help stay safe: Always make sure your McAfee anti-virus is up-to-date to maximize the protection available to you. Don't click too quickly. This attack may be spreading through phishing or spam emails, so make sure you check an email's content for legitimacy. Hover over a link and see if it's going to a reliable URL. Or, if you're unsure about an email's content or the source it came from, do a quick search and look for other instances of this campaign, and what those instances could tell you about the email's legitimacy. Do a complete back up. Back up all your PCs immediately. If your machine becomes infected with Petya ransomware, your data could become completely inaccessible. Make sure you cover all your bases and have your data stored on an external hard drive or elsewhere. Apply system and application updates. This is spreading in organizations using the same technique as WannaCry. Making sure your operating system is up to date will help contain the spread of this malware.

These messages recommend you conduct a system reboot, after which the system is inaccessible. This basically means the operating system won't be able to locate files. Now, the next question is - does this affect you, and what should you do to stay secure? Though this attack is largely targeting companies, it's important you stay vigilant and take precautionary measures. We encourage you to follow these tips to help stay safe: Always make sure your McAfee anti-virus is up-to-date to maximize the protection available to you. Don't click too quickly. This attack may be spreading through phishing or spam emails, so make sure you check an email's content for legitimacy. Hover over a link and see if it's going to a reliable URL. Or, if you're unsure about an email's content or the source it came from, do a quick search and look for other instances of this campaign, and what those instances could tell you about the email's legitimacy. Do a complete back up. Back up all your PCs immediately. If your machine becomes infected with Petya ransomware, your data could become completely inaccessible. Make sure you cover all your bases and have your data stored on an external hard drive or elsewhere. Apply system and application updates. This is spreading in organizations using the same technique as WannaCry. Making sure your operating system is up to date will help contain the spread of this malware.

Today we have another global cyberattack taking place. A new strain of ransomware is spreading rapidly. Called Petya, or Petwrap, ransomware, it has hit companies everywhere across Europe today, including Ukraine's government facilities, electric grids, banks, and public transportation, demanding a $300 ransom in Bitcoin in the process. It has since spread to companies around the world. So how does this Petya attack work, exactly? Going after Windows servers, PCs, and laptops, this cyberattack appears to be an "updated variant" of the Petya malware virus. It uses the SMB (Server Message Block) vulnerability that WannaCry did, however in the case of Petya it encrypts, among other files, your master boot file. These messages recommend you conduct a system reboot, after which the system is inaccessible. This basically means the operating system won't be able to locate files. Now, the next question is - does this affect you, and what should you do to stay secure? Though this attack is largely targeting companies, it's important you stay vigilant and take precautionary measures. We encourage you to follow these tips to help stay safe: Always make sure your McAfee anti-virus is up-to-date to maximize the protection available to you. Don't click too quickly. This attack may be spreading through phishing or spam emails, so make sure you check an email's content for legitimacy. Hover over a link and see if it's going to a reliable URL. Or, if you're unsure about an email's content or the source it came from, do a quick search and look for other instances of this campaign, and what those instances could tell you about the email's legitimacy. Do a complete back up. Back up all your PCs immediately. If your machine becomes infected with Petya ransomware, your data could become completely inaccessible. Make sure you cover all your bases and have your data stored on an external hard drive or elsewhere. Apply system and application updates. This is spreading in organizations using the same technique as WannaCry. Making sure your operating system is up to date will help contain the spread of this malware.

As she described it, it was like "passing through a needle eye." ©2017 THOUGHTSKOTO www.jbsolis.com SEARCH JBSOLIS, TYPE KEYWORDS and TITLE OF ARTICLE at the box below Just over a month ago we reached out to you to educate you about the WannaCry ransomware that impacted more than 150 countries. Today we have another global cyberattack taking place. A new strain of ransomware is spreading rapidly. Called Petya, or Petwrap, ransomware, it has hit companies everywhere across Europe today, including Ukraine's government facilities, electric grids, banks, and public transportation, demanding a $300 ransom in Bitcoin in the process. It has since spread to companies around the world. So how does this Petya attack work, exactly? Going after Windows servers, PCs, and laptops, this cyberattack appears to be an "updated variant" of the Petya malware virus. It uses the SMB (Server Message Block) vulnerability that WannaCry did, however in the case of Petya it encrypts, among other files, your master boot file. These messages recommend you conduct a system reboot, after which the system is inaccessible. This basically means the operating system won't be able to locate files. Now, the next question is - does this affect you, and what should you do to stay secure? Though this attack is largely targeting companies, it's important you stay vigilant and take precautionary measures. We encourage you to follow these tips to help stay safe: Always make sure your McAfee anti-virus is up-to-date to maximize the protection available to you. Don't click too quickly. This attack may be spreading through phishing or spam emails, so make sure you check an email's content for legitimacy. Hover over a link and see if it's going to a reliable URL. Or, if you're unsure about an email's content or the source it came from, do a quick search and look for other instances of this campaign, and what those instances could tell you about the email's legitimacy. Do a complete back up. Back up all your PCs immediately. If your machine becomes infected with Petya ransomware, your data could become completely inaccessible. Make sure you cover all your bases and have your data stored on an external hard drive or elsewhere. Apply system and application updates. This is spreading in organizations using the same technique as WannaCry. Making sure your operating system is up to date will help contain the spread of this malware.

After Wannacry attack recently a new strain of ransomware broke out. Many organizations in Europe and the US have been targeted by the new ransomware called Petya/GoldenEye. It spreads in a sweep across the world and is infecting big companies and corporations in Turkey, Lithuania and others. What you need to know about Petya/GoldenEye and how to prevent the attack? What Is Petya/GoldenEye? How Does Petya Attack Work? While Petya is trying to infect a computer, Blue Screen of Death can be a signal, then the system will reboot by force to finish the encryption. This can be ignored easily as the process looks like Windows scanning and repairing the system itself. Once the reboot finished, the computer is encrypted and a note will pop up to alert the user to pay the ransom. Now, the next question is what should you do to stay secure? Though this attack is massively targets companies and corporations, it's important that you stay vigilant and aware too. *To disable WMI service click here. *to disable SMBv1 click here.
