14: NotPetya: Is it for the Money or the Infrastructure?

As if doing taxes weren’t bad enough, now cybercriminals have
used an update to a Ukrainian tax software to spread malware to
computers in multiple companies both in Ukraine and around the
world.


The infectious code looks like the ransomware Petya at first
glance, but after a double-take, it looks more like a malware
that is decidedly more sophisticated and is definitely NotPetya.
Many are comparing it more accurately to the WannaCry attacks in
May.


In this episode of Defrag This, Scott Foote, cybersecurity
expert and CEO of Protinuum, dives deep on the recent NotPetya
malware attacks and gives us a peek at what future cyberattacks
could look like.
