Justin Cappos, assistant professor of computer science and engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, comments on the NotPetya “wiper” attack that hit countless computer systems across 64 countries last week. “There seems to be increasing evidence that the people who carried out this attack did not do so for monetary gain, which is usually what you try to do with something like ransomware,” he said.
