A new malicious program that encrypts files on Web servers has affected at least 100 websites. The program is called CTB-Locker, a name also used by one of the most widespread ransomware programs for Windows computers. Researchers from Stormshield, a subsidiary of Airbus Defence and Space, have obtained a full copy of the malicious code from another affected website. It’s not yet clear how the attackers gained access to those websites in order to install the program. In November, researchers discovered a similar threat dubbed LinuxEncoder.1, but that program appeared to be experimental and had cryptographic flaws.”]
