A major cyberattack has unfolded, striking banks, corporations and infrastructure in Ukraine and Russia before spreading to western Europe and then the United States.
Experts say the virus is a modified version of the so-called Petya ransomware, which hit last year and demanded money from victims in exchange for their data.
A similar virus called WannaCry infected more than 200,000 computers in more than 150 countries last month.
Following is a list of companies and organisations which say they have been a victim of the latest attack:
Ukraine's central bank, the National Bank of Ukraine
Ukrainian bank Oschadbank
Ukrainian delivery service company Nova Poshta
Russian state oil giant Rosneft
Kyivenergo, Kiev power company
Radiation monitoring system at Chernobyl
