Gandcrab is one of the most widely distributed file-encrypting malware programs. Researchers with Cisco say they’ve found it seeded within legitimate websites, making it harder to stop its spread.

Researchers say it’s under constant development, with its creators releasing new versions at an “aggressive pace,” Cisco’s Nick Biasini writes.”]
