The FBI has sent out a private industry alert warning about an increase in attacks using Ragnar Locker Ransomware. The FBI alert notes that its cyber division has been closely monitoring the malware since April, when its operators encrypted a large corporation’s files and demanded an $11 million ransom to avoid release of 10 terabytes of sensitive company data. “Instead of choosing which files to encrypt, Ragnar. Locker chooses which folders it will not encrypt,” the FBI alert says. “Rarnock Locker has been deployed against an increasing list of victims, including cloud service providers, communication, construction, travel and enterprise software companies””]
