As the title says, Trend Micro has a newly discovered ransomware. This malware poses as another ransomware known as Locky yet seems to be just riding on Locky’s infamy coattails. This malware uses Python Scripts converted into standalone executables, lays dormant for 11.5 days or 999,999 seconds before it begins to encrypts files in 3DES… all while communicating to the control server. Yikes…
Attacks have been mostly European focused.
