Note that with this new malware the Mischa component is dropped only when the original malware vector can't get Admin privilege. Otherwise you'll see the usual system repair screens while the malware is messing with the MBR, and when finished you'll get the "skull and crossbones" ransom screen- this time in Yellow. Petya 1 and 2 were Red and Green, respectively (or was it the other way around?),

I wonder to myself if they fixed the problem of the old version: by extracting 512 verification bytes from sector 55 and 8 bytes from the sector 54 of the infected drive (both encoded in Base64), it was possible to generate the decryption key needed to unlock the data.

Indeed...useless question, they will fix that for sure :D
