The latest (likely very successful) ransomware delivery campaign takes the form of spear-phishing emails targeting specific individuals and, for added credibility, includes their real-world home addresses and names.
It’s such a brilliant idea, that I wonder how cyber crooks haven’t thought of it earlier. But maybe they were only waiting for the right malware to deliver – in this case, the Maktub Locker.
Maktub Locker is a type of ransomware that encrypts (and compresses) files fast and does not need to download an encryption key from the CnC server (meaning: the data can be encrypted offline).
