We all remember ransom virus "WannaCry" which hit corruption in the earth, and was able to cause an unprecedented electronic attack in the world in 2017. It broke into the computers systems of dozens of countries and institutions and major international companies. Pirates demanded victims to pay ransom for Decryption.
After a major security update from Microsoft and a host of other systems, virus attacks were halted, but it seems that it has not yet ended.
A similar virus, known as the "bad rabbit," has been widespread in a number of European countries, namely Russia, Ukraine, The number is high.
The virus has so far succeeded in attacking the Odessa airport , the Ukrainian Ministry of Transport, Metro Kiev and a group of Russian press institutions as well as in Turkey and Bulgaria at different levels.
How does the virus spread?
According to several security reports, the new virus is spreading in a virtual update of the Flash program, and the virus comes with tools that help it move horizontally within the network, which may explain why it spread very quickly across many organizations, companies and countries in a short time.
Based on the analysis of the virus it tries to reach servers and computers running on the same network via "SMB"
When a computer is infected with the virus, it will first encrypt the files on the user's computer and then change MBR (Master Boot Record). When it does its job properly, it restarts the user's computer and show the malicious message that forces victim to go to the hacker site ,and pay 0.05 Bitcoin to retrieve his files.
