It's worth pointing out the misrepresentation of "NotPetya, a particularly nasty strain of ransomware, tore through its networks, encrypting and locking up everything in its path before showing messages demanding a ransom of $300 per device" - unlike the earlier Petya, NotPetya was never intended to collect a ransom, it was purely destructive malware intentionally modified so that it would be impossible to recover the devices for a ransom. It did display a $300 dollar message for the purposes of masquerade, but it was a weapon to disrupt Ukrainian economy (released by a watering-hole attack to all companies using a particular accounting tool aiding Ukraine tax filing, including multinationals like Maersk), not simply a cybercrime "business tool".
