The wiper malware affecting 9,000 workstations and 500 servers inside Chile’s largest financial institution turns out to have been a distraction.

A.P. Moller -Maersk said June’s NotPetya wiper malware attacks would cost the world’s largest shipping container company $300M USD in lost revenue.

Researchers at Kaspersky Lab have seen a resurgence of Mamba ransomware pop up recently in Brazil and Saudi Arabia.

Pharmaceutical kingpin Merck reported that operational disruptions continue more than a month after the NotPetya wiper malware attacks.

A shift in APT tactics is emerging as characterized by the destructive ExPetr attacks hidden in ransomware, and WannaCry, which also failed to turn a profit.

Data collected from the freely available scanner called EternalBlues shows that tens of thousands of computers remain vulnerable to the SMBv1 vulnerability that spawned WannaCry and ExPetr.

The key to decrypt the original Petya ransomware has been reportedly released by the ransomware’s author.

The global outbreak of the Petya/ExPetr malware wasn’t a ransomware attack, it was wiper malware aimed to sabotage, according to experts.

Kaspersky Lab released details about new wiper malware called StoneDrill that bears similarities to Shamoon2 and an APT outfit known as NewsBeef.
