The Week in Ransomware – February 2nd 2018 – TOR Sites Stealing Ransom Payments & GandCrab

This has been an interesting week in ransomware news. GandCrab was released and distributed by exploit kits. TOR gateways stole ransom payments from ransomware devs, and a bunch of towns getting hit with ransomware. The Chester County School District was affected by a ransomware hit the district s servers over the weekend. The Spring Hill, Tennessee city computers were hit with an undisclosed ransomware. Spartanburg County Public Libraries in South Carolina was hit with a similar ransomware. Ransomware taunts you via speech from the computer’s speakers. It is decryptable.
