5 years ago I got a call from Ukraine gov requesting help with a new destructive malware strain that was previously unknown. It would become known as #notpetya. By the end of the day I would be on a conference call with MeDoc, the initial victim, thats to Ciscos UA office.
With other Talos team members we worked around the clock for the next week on analyzing #notpetya, hunting it’s source, reassembling fragments, and offering support to orgs around the world. Tomorrow is Constitution Day in Ukraine.
5 years ago Russia attacked Ukraine using Computer Network Attack techniques. Today Russia has soldiers in Ukraine and are constantly blanketing cities with air strikes and missiles.
While infosec people reminisce about how they did this or that or showed up in news articles don’t forget:
Ukraine citizens are still locked in a war that started before NotPetya and today are still fighting .
