    Hi JM,

    There are three specific steps you can take to mitigate against this new ransomware:

    • Ensure you have the latest security updates installed.
    • Ensure you have the latest AV Signatures from your preferred AV vendor.
    • Do not open email/attachments from unknown/untrusted sources

    For more information about how the Petya Ransomware works and how to protect your computers against it, please check out this Windows Security blog:
