The Latest Targets Hit by the Ransomware Attack

The video discusses the spread of the Petya virus, which has affected over 2,000 computers across 64 countries, originating from Ukraine. Unlike the WannaCry virus, Petya lacks an off switch, leading to widespread chaos, particularly in government institutions and major companies like Maersk and TNT Express.
