Accounting Software Delivers NotPetya? – Daily Security Byte

June 29, 2017 By Corey Nachreiner

Yesterday, I mentioned that experts weren’t sure how Petya 2.0 first originated. Some experts claimed it arrived in emails exploiting an Office flaw, but not all of them agreed. Today’s video covers new evidence that suggests Ukrainian accounting software may have been involved in this latest ransomworm’s spread. The accused company denies the connection, but Microsoft shared some compelling evidence otherwise. Watch below to learn more, and follow the references for more details.

Episode Runtime: 5:05
