After the Wannacry ransomware attack infected systems across Europe and the Americas in May 2017, a new malware known as Petya arose Tuesday morning and spread through the Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Italy, Belarus and a few instances in the US.

This is what users saw on their screens. Petya tells its victims their files have been encrypted which means people would no longer be able to access their files. It then demands $300 in bitcoin (BTC) to be paid to a BTC address and only then will your files be decrypted. Petya claims you have no way of recovering your files without paying the ransom.
