Ted - interesting info. Our CTO here at my job sent out a co. wide email last night warning about this new Petya Ransomware - warning EVERYBODY Not to just Open email attachments unless they are absolutely SURE they are safe. So - I just forwarded your posting below to him and our Network dept. - in case they want to try and implement the suggestion.
So - thanks for giving us the heads-up!
