Cyber attack
A major cyberattack has unfolded, striking banks, corporations and infrastructure in Ukraine and Russia before spreading to western Europe and then the United States.
Experts say the virus is a modified version of the so-called Petya ransomware, which hit last year and demanded money from victims in exchange for their data.
A similar virus called WannaCry infected more than 200,000 computers in more than 150 countries last month.
Following is a list of companies and organisations which say they have been a victim of the latest attack:
Ukraine’s central bank, the National Bank of Ukraine
Ukrainian bank Oschadbank
Ukrainian delivery service company Nova Poshta
Russian state oil giant Rosneft
Kyivenergo, Kiev power company
Radiation monitoring system at Chernobyl
Website of Kiev’s Boryspil international airport
Danish sea transport company Maersk
British advertising giant WPP
French industrial group Saint-Gobain
US pharmaceutical giant Merck
