PressReleasePing - July 13, 2017 -PALO ALTO, Calif., – WPS Office Software, a leading office productivity suite for PC and mobile devices, today announced the successful defense against data loss caused by the Petya ransomware virus by WPS Office users. The new breed of virus continues to spread rapidly and has begun to negatively affect businesses and individuals around the world. Some of the largest organizations hit include A.P. Moller-Maersk, one of the largest cargo and shipping operators and FedEx’s TNT Express division. Petya (AKA: Not Petya) is malicious software that prevents access to computer system data until a financial payment is made. In the case of Petya, the sum is $300 in Bitcoin. Once infected by Petya, the virus spreads rapidly using the EternalBlue vulnerability in Microsoft Windows or through two Windows administrative tools. The virus uses intelligence to try multiple entry points into the computer consecutively until gaining access. Once infected, the virus encrypts documents and files. Because of the inability of some victims to recover their data, the virus has also been described as a wiper virus which has the goal of destroying and damaging data – eliminating the possib ility of restoration. With WannaCry and Petya being the two latest major ransomware attacks and more expected in the coming months, WPS Office has supported customers with alerts and provided guidance on avoiding ransomware attacks.
