Notes on methodology: The diagram above is based on outgoing transactions, starting with the wallet that held the #Petya/NotPetya funds from July 4 to July 7. We collected each spent output from that address, then each spent output from those addresses, and so on. In order to limit the number of rabbit holes the crawler followed, we only included transfers that occurred within eight hours of the first outgoing transaction from the first wallet. We considered high-volume wallets, shown in pink, to be wallets that had three or more total transactions, as returned from the #Blockchain.info API, but the vast majority of those had more than 10 total transactions.
