SamSam is a serious threat to organizations of all sizes. The first version of the SamSam (a.k.a. Samas or SamsamCrypt) ransomware was developed and released in late 2015. The group behind SamSam has targeted healthcare organizations, but they’ve also targeted governments, schools, and private businesses. In February, the Colorado Department of Transportation was infected twice in two weeks by SamSam, creating an administrative nightmare for the agency. It’s developed privately and updated frequently to avoid antivirus detection.”]
