The Scarab ransomware is now being distributed to millions of users via a massive spam campaign powered with the dreaded Necurs botnet. The massive email campaign started at approximately 07:30 UTC and is active as of 13:30 today. By noon, Necurs had already sent out 12.5 million emails carrying what appeared to be a new version of the Scarab Ransomware. Scarab is a relatively new ransomware variant first observed last June, and its code is based on the open source ransomware proof-of-concept called HiddenTear.”]
