CERT24NotPetya: a destructive cyberattack that spread from Ukraine worldwide
In June 2017, NotPetya malware was distributed through the software-update infrastructure for M.E.Doc in Ukraine. It spread rapidly and indiscriminately around the world, disrupting Maersk’s port and logistics operations as well as banks, hospitals, energy companies, and government agencies. The source describes the attack as primarily destructive and states that US intelligence and a former White House homeland security adviser confirmed Russia’s military was responsible.
