Summary
This new ransomware attack was first observed on June 27, 2017. The impacted entities are mostly focused in the EU at this time but we do have reports of a US healthcare entity being impacted as well. Multiple sectors including financial, telecom, transportation, healthcare and energy have reported that their operations are impacted.
The initial infection vector is still unknown at this time.
There are public reports that Petya is using ETERNALBLUE/DOUBLEPULSAR for lateral movement, and that seems to be a part of it. We can’t confirm this yet (still looking for code or behavior that would indicate eternalblue).
There is a lateral movement component that performs the following:
- Enumerate active connections using WNetOpenEnum (enumerate currently active connections)
- Enumerate current users credentials using CredEnumerateW
- Attempt to establish connection to enumerated machines using enumerated credentials using WNetAddConnection2
After the malware executes, it will establish a scheduled task to reboot the machine after 1 hour. This will allow it time to infect other victims on the network. Once the reboot occurs, a fake CHKDSK screen appears and encrypts the master file table and displays the ransom message.
