新电脑病毒扑面而来，Petya到底是什么？

Is Petya related to WannaCry?

Petya和此前的WannaCry有关联吗？

Petya also uses the ETERNALBLUE exploit, also used by the otherwise unrelated WannaCry ransomware worm in mid-May, to spread among Windows machines in an enterprise network.

Petya也利用“永恒之蓝”漏洞在企业网络内的Windows电脑间传播，这一点和5月中旬爆发的WannaCry勒索软件蠕虫相似，除此以外并无关联。

Who's behind Petya?

谁是幕后黑手？

It's not clear who created and released Petya, but a lot of circumstantial evidence points to "patriotic" Russian hackers.

不清楚是谁制作和发布了Petya，不过很多间接证据指向了“爱国”的俄罗斯黑客。

Why is it called Petya?

为什么叫做Petya？

The ransomware component of this new worm bears at least superficial resemblance to the latest iterations of Petya, a ransomware strain first spotted in 2017. (Petya is Russian for "Pete.")

这种新蠕虫的勒索软件组件至少表面上看来与最新的Petya迭代相似，Petya是2017年首次发现的勒索病毒（Petya对应俄语中的“Pete”）。

Should I pay the Petya ransom?

中招后应该支付赎金吗？

If your computer is encrypted by Petya, there's no point in paying the ransom. The email address that you have to contact to collect the decryption key, has been shut down by the email host. Unless new strains of the ransomware provide a different contact email address, there's no way to recover your files.
