What is Petya Ransomware Attack and How to Avoid It?

'Petya' ransomware, a cyber attack which is being originated from Ukraine has shown an unprecedented level of sophistication, which authorities believe, mainly spread through a malicious update to a small Ukrainian tax software company.

'Petya' attacks the Master Boot Record (MBR). It first reboots the computers and then encrypts the hard drive’s file table (MFT), which renders the MBR inoperable. From this point forwards, it restricts access to the system by seizing information of file names, sizes, and location on the physical disk.
