UNH IT has been alerted to a new, global ransomware event with the potential to impact UNH users. On Tuesday, June 27, a new variant of the Petya ransomware strain began infecting computers across European countries including UK, Ukraine, Spain, and the Netherlands.
As of this posting there have been no reports of impacted devices at the University. This strain of ransomware, which spreads like the Wannacry strain, only affects Windows devices that do not have the appropriate patches installed.
Information on how to determine if a device is vulnerable and details on the patches that address this vulnerability is available in the UNH IT Knowledge Base.
ISS will continue to monitor this evolving event and provide updates and additional information if appropriate.
