FTCode PowerShell Ransomware Resurfaces in Spam Campaign

An old version of the FTCode ransomware has resurfaced with a vengeance in a spam distribution aimed at Italian recipients. This ransomware is called FTCode and is completely PowerShell based. The first appearance of this threat was in 2013 and almost nothing was seen for about 6 years. The current price of FTCode is $500 USD and the encryption algorithm does not allow victims to recover their free files for free. When BleepingComputer tested this ransomware, it did not properly generate ransom notes and we were left with 0 byte files.
