Petya Is the New WannaCry

AP Moeller-Maersk AS (AMKBY)  said Wednesday that it has contained the Petya ransomware virus that shut down some of its systems in an ongoing global cyber attack but is still assessing its impact on the the world's biggest shipping company.

Maersk, one of the first companies to fall victim to the latest spread of ransomware, had temporarily shut down a shipping terminal in India, the country's biggest, following yesterday's attack but said key business units such as Maersk Oil and Maersk Drilling had not been "operationally affected."

"IT systems are down across multiple sites and select business units," the company said. "We have contained the issue and are working on a technical recovery plan with key IT-partners and global cyber security agencies."
