Ransomware operations have begun new tactics this week to pressure their victims into paying a ransom. The largest attack this week was against Tawainese laptop maker Compal, who was hit by DoppelPaymer. Ragnar Locker hacked a Facebook advertiser’s account to run Facebook ads promoting their attack. Another new tactic announced by DarkSide is their plans to create a fault-tolerant distributed storage service based out of Iran or other “unrecognized republics”” The goal is to use this storage as a platform to leak victim’s data for six months.”
