The reports came from Motherboard, the group behind Petya/NotPetya has demanded 100 bitcoins.
Petya/NotPetya malware came into the spotlight just when we thought that the world is now safe from WannaCry ransomware.
Petya/NotPetya malware is erasing the first sector of the disk.
The security firm, Kaspersky also analyzed the malware and concluded by saying that this is a wiper.
The wallet received around four Bitcoins, which is almost over $10,000.
All the funds were withdrawn from the wallet and mapped to 3 other wallets.
One was an empty wallet which was set up by whoever transferred the money.
The other two are owned by DeepPaste and PasteBin, services used by hackers to make announcements.
Well, its still unclear why the demand surfaced now, more than the week after the initial infections.
So, what do you think about this?
