This has been a busy week with large scale attacks targeting local governments, new variants released, and another ransomware stating that they will use stolen data as leverage to get victims to pay. We also had an unknown ransomware attack the City of New Orleans yesterday, but according to a press briefing by the mayor, a ransom demand has not been found. Snatch is now rebooting victim’s to the Windows Safe Mode to bypass AV software and Ryuk has released a buggy decryptor that deletes the last byte of data in large files.
