Ransomware is such a popular method of attack used by hackers that new variants of it pop up every few months. Among these is Petya, a nasty new ransomware that masquerades as an unsolicited resume in an organization’s email inbox.

So, while you sit and wait for your version of the latest OS, don’t fall prey to deals that seem too good to be true.
