The Week in Ransomware – May 22nd 2020 – Constantly Innovating

Ransomware operators continue to leak data for their victims and develop new ways to infect victims without being detected by security software. This week, we saw Snake ransomware leak data from Fresenius Medical Care, and REvil claims to have a buyer for the alleged data on President Trump. We saw an interesting technique used by the Ragnar Lock ransomware, where they encrypt victims using virtual machines to evade security software. Many think, though, that this was nothing more than a PR stunt or never had the data in the first place.
