The Week in Ransomware – April 5th 2019 – Pacman Wakka Wakka

This week was marked by the release of a couple of decryptors as well as numerous variants of existing ransomware and new smaller variants. Strangely, someone released a Pacman themed ransomware. Norsk Hydro created a documentary-like video about the employees who discovered they were infected by LockerGoga. The vxCrypter Ransomware could be the first ransomware infection that not only encrypts a victim’s data, but also tidy’s up their computer by deleting duplicate files. Arizona Beverages, one of the largest beverage suppliers in the U.S., is recovering after a massive ransomware attack last month.
