Another CIA tool let loose.

A code segment altered for destroying data:

Could be Russia. Or the US Deep State destroying incriminating evidence of its own crimes, under the cover of worldwide cyber chaos.

So, if it destroys the master boot record, use a utility to copy your disks master boot record to file so you can restore it later.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

FYI: turn OFF JavaScript, the most evil entity known to computing.

NEVER open email attachments. The info can always be conveyed another way.

Turn OFF HTML when downloading/reading email. This not only disables scripts, it provides privacy by not "phoning home" through embedded images.

NEVER install any application unless you are willing to bet your cyber life/security/privacy and everything else on its source. Installing an application gives the keys of your kingdom to that application. You've been warned.

Hillary Clinton on line 2....

Can they just target Mueller and his minions?

Simple Windows vaccine for current version of Petya:

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/vaccine-not-killswitch-found-for-petya-notpetya-ransomware-outbreak/

That page contains a link to this short batch file program:

https://download.bleepingcomputer.com/bats/nopetyavac.bat

Download it, right click the downloaded program, and run it as administrator.

Don't be surprised if a later version of Petya is not blocked by this technique.

From the article:

In almost all other aspects, Tuesday's malware was impressive. It used two exploits developed by and later stolen from the National Security Agency. It combined those exploits with custom code that stole network credentials so the malware could infect fully patched Windows computers. And it was seeded by compromising the update mechanism for M.E.Doc, a tax-filing application that is almost mandatory for companies that do business in Ukraine.

Clinton Foundation has a lot of cash to help pay for such work around the globe to meet their ends.

Now referred to as Hillaryware.

Anyone who does this should become prime target #1 for the entire planet, and hunted down and summarily executed.

It will teach a lesson for the others.

Anyone who SPOTS a vulnerability and reports it, should get a huge reward.

This completely changes the motivation to find and act on them.

You cannot destroy data if it has been backed up. If you don’t back it up, you don’t care about it.

I suspect our own NSA-CIA with one of their cyber-children having been developed by contractors and it “escaped”.
