Windows Defender can block Petya & GoldenEye Ransomware on Windows 10
A new wave of ransomware attacks starring Petya and GoldenEye Ransomware has affected thousands of computers worldwide. This attack comes only one month after the massive WannaCry attack.
Unfortunately, this time the creators of Petya and GoldenEye didn’t make the same mistake that WannaCry’s creators had done. The new ransomware features stronger encryption and a worm-like behavior. For this reason, many security specialists labelled Petya and GoldenEye as cyberattacks, rather than ransomware attempts.
