BadRabbit Ransomware Attacks Hitting Russia, Ukraine

Ransomware attack is spreading via drive-by download attacks from legitimate news sites. Host sites are infected with a dropper in the guise of a phony Adobe Flash Player installer. Kaspersky Lab said it has observed victims in Turkey and Germany as well, counting almost 200 targets. The attacks are known as Bad Rabbit and harken back to the ExPetr/NotPetya attacks of this summer which also concentrated in Ukraine and Russia, but instead spread wiper malware used in Petya.
