Install your Windows updates, kiddos.

(and keep backups)





• Nadia: makes her BQFX file an AJ7
• SuperHackio: questions what that is
<~StapleButter> the AJ7 is an automatic rifle model based on the well-known AK47

"New"

Petya has been around for some time already. This is mostly an update to it to use the same exploit as WannaCry.

Still, keep off-site backups (and backups of those backups!) and the usual in case of an attack.

re: updates


Microsoft pushed a patch for the NSA hacks, you can download it from their site and install it standalone

as far as I can see there is no "get Windows 10" bullshit embedded. I should check whether there are anal probes.

Instead of going through all that bullshit, what about installing Linux? :P

Linux isn't safe either though, but yeah, I should definitely stop being lazy

It might not be safer, but it's not worth for anybody to code a Linux ransomware. The profit they 'd get is just not there.

So, wait...is this patch separate from the WannaCry one? I would've thought so, but this:

there are lots of servers that run Linux, and that contain all sorts of important shit that you wouldn't want encrypted

One of the articles actually mentions a Linux ransomware called "KillDisk".

@Yami yeah, but macOS viruses are very rare, and macOS security is very, very high. Plus, you get this from a fishy torrent site so :P

I wasn't properly informed at the time so I went with that assumption that it was just an upgrade of the original Petya (or NotPetya as how it's called now).

By now, I did read a bit more on the ransomware, and this is what I found:

  • The worm won't encrypt at all if you create the file C:\WINDOWS\perfc.dat as read-only. It will still try to propagate itself, though.
  • It doesn't travel outside it's own /24 network, making me think it was a targeted attack.
  • Its email was shutdown so the infected users won't be able to recover their files... Oops?
  • It encrypts offline in a modified chkdisk terminal. The process starts as soon you see the message, so you can turn off the PC ASAP, plug the drive into another PC and copy your files away (and possibly format the infected drive).

This article could help as some reading material.


And FWIW: You can run almost if not every windows ransomware on Linux, with the help of a little thing called Wine.
