Malware researchers have discovered a new file-encrypting malware they dubbed DoppelPaymer. Ransomware has been making victims since at least mid-June, asking hundreds of thousands of US dollars in ransom. The City of Edcouch, Texas, Chilean Ministry of Agriculture was one of the victims. Researchers believe the new ransomware strain may be the work of a BitPaymer group member that started their own ransomware business. The operators of the malware are the same individuals behind the Dridex banking trojan known as the INDRIK SPIDER.
