Violet Blue's Cybersecurity Round-Up: December 10, 2019 talks a little about the "NotPetya" attack that was targeted at the destruction of online backups of any company doing business with Ukraine, and <href="https://www.darkreading.com/threat-intelligence/maersk-ciso-says-notpeyta-devastated-several-unnamed-us-firms/a/d-id/1336558">took down a big chunk of Maersk's infrastructure, and did extreme damage to two other US companies that have tried to keep the damage secret, one of those might have been FedEx.
