Petya-esque ransomware is spreading across the world

UPDATE 6/27/2017 1653 PST: Based on information released by security researchers, a Ukrainian accounting software company called Me Doc pushed an update at around 10:30 GMT this morning, which installed the malware on the “victim zero” system. Then, using a mix of PSExec, WMI, and EternalBlue, it was able to spread to every other computer on the network. Me Doc has claimed that this isn’t the case; however, so we cannot fully confirm that this was the source of the original infection vector.

At this point, it would be a good idea (if you are running any Me Doc software) to not update said software until they have announced that their servers are clean.
