'Petya' ransomware: Everything you need to know

There's another massive ransomware attack sweeping across the world. Here's what you need to know to stay safe.

Little more than a month has passed since the notorious WannaCry ransomware attack hit headlines across the world. Now, sadly, we're in a period of another such attack, and this time it's dubbed "Petya" or "GoldenEye."

The basic problem is the same as the WannaCry outbreak: PCs are infected, locked up and files encrypted with a ransom demanded for access to the blocked files. It's not exactly the same as WannaCry, nor is it currently as widespread, but it's still important to know what you're dealing with.
