Deputy head of SBU: our experts have identified "body" of the #CyberAttack virus and study it. This type of virus wasn't seen/used before.
Coincidentally, this article from two days ago re cyber attacks on Ukraine.

Russian first hacking and then release of a new variant of Wannacry MS SMB ransomware first against Ukraine is now bleeding into the rest of Europe....
This ransomware did not insert itself in the usual manner of having the end user clink of the wrong link and or via phishing..this was inserted in the hacked network and then worked its way to a pc...evidently the Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky knows nothing of the variant which is unusual as they seem to know what is floating out in the dark net from Russian developers....
Major ransomware virus hits computer servers across Europe:

PM @Groysman called the attack "unprecedented" but added that "vital systems haven't been affected" - AFP

Russian Rosneft stated in their press release that they had been hit as well...RIGT now that stands as a blatant lie..they still are up and running and the other reported Russian companies were not touched as well by this attack....
Rosneft a part of "plausible deniability" scenario?
Most certainly....especially if you really understand the irony in their press release...as if they were not even concerned.....VS the panic outbreak in Russia when in fact the entire country got hit with Wannacry......
Russia's cyberattack hit Chernobyl computers. Fortunately, radiation monitoring & other systems are operational.
Has been shifted to manual operations....

.@Europol "urgently responding" to reports of the Petya ransomware attack hitting European businesses
JUST IN: Norway's National Security Authority says ransomware attack ongoing, affects 'one international company'
Maersk#
@Maersk
We can confirm that Maersk IT systems are down across multiple sites and business units. We are currently assessing the situation.

NOW this is in fact interesting to say the least...Kaspersky is usually well informed.
Kaspersky Lab analysts say new attacks are not a variant of Petya ransomware as publicly reported, but a new ransomware they call NotPetya
Analysis is coming faster from field IT types than from Kaspersky....
I am on a train analysing Petya. I think this will be bigger than WannaCry. It's much better designed. Has automated lateral movement.

Petya cyber attack: Ransomware spreads across Europe with firms in Ukraine, Britain and Spain shut down
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017...yber-attack1/#
KEY....this attack started in Ukraine as the main initial target.......with bleed over into other countries simply because the internet is the internet......
Right now there is no evidence that the number of Ukraine firms hit was caused by phishing...a large number were actually hacked and the malware inserted into the network and then it spread on its own due to the ability to move laterally.....
