It’s prohibited from being used in certain countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Armenia, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. It encrypts user files with a random name and sends a note demanding payment to get them back. Researchers found evidence of Kraken authors asking the Fallout team to add its malware.”]
