The Week in Ransomware – January 4th 2019 – IPMI, FilesLocker, and More

This Week in Ransomware edition covers the past two weeks over the holidays. Of particular interest is the JungleSec ransomware, which has been hacking into servers via IPMI in order to install the ransomware. We have also seen a resurgence of Paradise, MMM Reborn, and the release of the master decryption key for the older variants of FilesLocker. This week, we have seen a lot of new variants, decryptors, and Ryuk ransomware outbreaks. We are looking for a sample of the Snatch ransomware that appends an extension with the pattern “snatch”” and drops a ransom note named Readme_Restore_Files.”
