Well, NotPetya was a ransomware, yet paying wouldn't have decrypted any data.
- GTP 3y agoIt was actually a wiper.
- PeterisP 3y agoWell, NotPetya obviously was not ransomware, it was malware that masqueraded to pretend to be ransomware.
- cafeinux 3y agoThat asks a question: is a malware defined by its intent, or by what it actually does? Functionally speaking, NotPetya was indistinguishable from a ransomware. It's creators intent however would make it a wiper.
