The FBI has sent out a private industry alert warning about an increase in attacks using Ragnar Locker ransomware. Ransomware is one of several variants used to encrypt files of victims and exfiltrate data. The FBI says it has been 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. It has been linked to other high-profile security incidents over the last several months, including attacks targeting Energias de Portugal, EDP, Campari, an Italian liquor company.”]
