Spreads SUPER fast - saw org 5K systems hit in under 10 minutes. Restarts computer with ransom message (MBR).

What we have seen so far (VERY EARLY ANALYSIS) - extracts pw's and use combo of EternalBlue, wmic and psexec as method for lateral. #Petya

Petya using authentication re-use on systems -> that means more than just exploit being used for spreading. This will be bad for folks.

Just patching with EternalBlue (MS17-010) doesn't appear to save you - other techniques for lateral movement in play here it looks like.
