Researchers identified a new ransomware family called Magniber that uniquely only targets users in South Korea and the Asia-Pacific regions. The ransomware is primarily being distributed by the Magnitude exploit kit, a primary distribution vehicle in the past for Cerber ransomware. The malware encrypts user data using AES128, researchers at FireEye said, noting its Magniber sample differed from that found by other researchers. Trend Micro noted Magniber activity had vanished briefly two week prior to the Oct. 15 Magniber attacks.
