Description:
Malware: EternalBlue -> Petya -> Not PetyaHacker: Russian-affiliated hacker groups like Fancy Bear, Cozy Bear and Sandworm
Funded By: Russia & Trumpp Campaign
Subject: EU. Ukrainian utility companies, banks, airports and government agencies in Ukraine. It also crippled multinationals like the Danish shipping giant Maersk, logistics giant FedEx, pharma company Merck and other major corporations. Cost $10 billion. Ukraine offers a tempting target because so many of the country’s computers run pirated software, which doesn’t receive standard security patches. And, because it is well integrated with Western European internet networks, the country offers a backdoor to hack the rest of Europe.
Investigator: International Foundation of Electoral Systems funded by the U.S. and U.K
