Petya replaces it with its own malicious code that displays the ransom note and leaves computers unable to boot.

One of my favorite features of YouTube’s mobile apps is its multitasking mode. This genius feature allows you to continue watching a video in a smaller panel while searching for other items within the app. I’ve often wished I could do that on my PC since the only alternative is to open a new tab and use Windows’ Snap feature to see the video and the rest of YouTube at the same time. That is, unless you use a handy Chrome extension called First, of course, you have to download and install Picture in Picture from the Chrome Web store. Once that’s done, you’re ready to roll. There are no settings to tweak or functions requiring you to click on the extension icon.

GigJam combines data from a variety of services including Microsoft's own Office 365, Trello, Dropbox, and Salesforce. Users can then bring that information into a shared workspace, allowing them to quickly work together. Users can easily redact part of the information they're sharing with other people, meaning they can selectively share only what needs to be seen in order to get a job done.
