HybridPetya : un clone de NotPetya capable de compromettre l’UEFI et de contourner Secure Boot

Selon ESET Research, HybridPetya a été découvert sur la plateforme de partage d’échantillons VirusTotal. L’équipe précise qu’il s’agit d’un imitateur de Petya/NotPetya, sans détection d’activité in-the-wild dans leur télémétrie au moment de la publication. HybridPetya se distingue de NotPetya/Petya en visant les systèmes modernes basés sur UEFI, où il installe une application EFI malveillante dans la partition système EFI (ESP). 💽 L’application UEFI déployée prend ensuite en charge le chiffrement de la Master File Table (MFT) NTFS, un fichier critique contenant les métadonnées de tous les fichiers d’une partition NTFS. ❗
