This is a brief warning to my follower's that a few new Ransomwares are out in the wild, and are traveling at lightspeed thanks to the Necures Botnet.
Many of you may have heard of the Necures Botnet before, but for those of you that haven't, check out this article: https://securityintelligence.com/the-necurs-botnet-a-pandoras-box-of-malicious-spam/
Be on the lookout for the new WannaCry 2.0 Ransomware, as a recent Tweet from @malwrhunterteam states:
"In less than 3 hours (even can say less than 2 hours if we count it from the explosion), they got victims already from 11 countries:"
My company was just hit with "Jaff" in the middle of the night, but luckily we snapshot backups every 4 hours. (Everyone is backing up often, right?)
It launched a campaign yesterday at a rate of about 5 Million emails per HOUR.

As always, be diligent and protect yourself, and NEVER pay up!
