August 18, 2017 (BBC Europe) The Security
Service of Ukraine (SBU) warned of a possible new cyber attack on Ukrainian
institutions and companies. The SBU believes that the "Petya"
virus, which attacked the Ukrainian information systems on June 27 this year,
could be a "preparatory phase for a second wave of cyberattacks". After
investigating the events of June 27, the SBU has discovered that the virus
collected data from electronic mailboxes, passwords for accounts, server access
details, and hash data user accounts. Specialists of the SBU assume that getting
this information was the main objective of the first wave of cyberattacks and obtained
data could be used by the real initiators for both cyber intelligence and for
further destructive actions.
