This week we have seen lots of small ransomware infections released as well as a very professional looking payment site from the Spora Ransomware. The big news is the continuing relentless attack on unsecured MongoDB databases, the new attacks on ElasticSearch databases, and a big time ransomware payout by a school. The good news is that we also had a bunch of decryptors released this week to help those victims who were affected by the Marlboro and Merry X-Mas ransomware infections.
