NoteThe source directly confirms the claim's central assertion. The claim states NotPetya's financial impact was '$10,000M (exact stored value: 10,000,000,000 (i.e. ~10 billion)) as of 2018-08'. The source explicitly states 'more than $10 billion in total damages, according to a White House assessment' and the article was published in September 2018 (as indicated by 'September 2018. Subscribe to WIRED' in the text), which aligns with the claimed 'as of 2018-08' timeframe. The exact stored value of 10,000,000,000 matches the source's '$10 billion' figure. The source also confirms this is the 'most-cited central estimate' by referencing the White House assessment and noting it was confirmed by a senior US cybersecurity official.
