Digital forensics expert from Gunadarma University Ruby Alamsyah stated that although coverage of Petan ransomware attack is low, the impact can be more dangerous than Wannacry's ransomware.
"The impact of infection is more dangerous than Wannacry, but from the way it spreads, Petya is still lower in scope than Wannacry," Ruby said in Jakarta, Thursday (6/7).
According to Ruby, so far Ransomware Petya there is no indication of infection in Indonesia. He explained, the low spread of infecting computer network patterns, because Petya does not encrypt Master File Table (MFT) and Master Boot Record (MBR).
However, Petya's ransomware that endemic at the end of June 2017 it has infected hundreds of thousands of computers in 64 countries that pushed by wipe or delete data permanently and can not be recovered or repaired.
The difference with Wannacry Petya is still able to access Windows on his computer device. This is because Wannacry only attacks document files in Windows OS. "Victims of infection Petya can not use the computer at all because before the OS starts, the system immediately locked," said Ruby.
