Vaccine, not Killswitch, Found for Petya (NotPetya) Ransomware Outbreak
Cybereason security researcher Amit Serper has found a way to prevent the Petya (NotPetya/SortaPetya/Petna) ransomware from infecting computers.The ransomware has been wreaking havoc across the globe today, locking hard drive MFT and MBR sections and preventing computers from booting. Unless victims opted to pay a ransom (whoch is now pointless and not recommended), there was no way to recover their systems.
Initially, researchers believed this new ransomware was a new version of an older threat called Petya, but they later discovered that this was a new strain altogether, whoch borrowed some code from Petya, hence the reason why they recently started it calling it NotPetya, Petna, or as we like to call it SortaPetya.
