Security researchers from ESET have tied another strain of ransomware, FriedEx (aka BitPaymer), to the authors of the Dridex Trojan. FriedEx was first spotted in July, and in August it was responsible for infections at NHS hospitals in Scotland. The FriedEx ransomware was involved in attacks against high profile targets, researchers believe it was delivered via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) brute force attacks. Both malware families use the same packer used by other malware families like QBot, Emotet or Ursnif also use it.”]
