KIEV: Ukrainian cybersecurity firm ISSP said it may have detected a new computer virus distribution campaign, after security services said Ukraine could face cyberattacks similar to those which knocked out global systems in June. 

The June 27 attack, dubbed NotPetya, took down many Ukrainian government agencies and businesses, before spreading rapidly through corporate networks of multinationals with operations or suppliers in eastern Europe.
