Try2Cry ransomware implements wormable capability to infect other Windows systems

A new piece of ransomware dubbed Try2Cry leverages infected USB flash drives and Windows shortcuts (LNK files) to infect other Windows systems. The malware uses the Rijndael alghorithm and the encryption password is hardcoded. The good news is that like other variants of the Stupid ransomware variants, victims could decrypt their files for free. The ransomware also creates visible copies of itself on the USB drives, using the default Windows icon folder and Arabic names in the attempt to trick victims into clicking on them.”]
