KIEV: The Ukrainian software firm used to launch last week's global cyberattack warned that all computers sharing a network with its infected accounting software had been compromised by hackers. 

The attack used a virus, dubbed "NotPetya" by some experts, to take down thousands of computers in dozens of countries, disrupting shipping and businesses. Investigators now say the hack may be far more nefarious than previously thought.
