Never-before-seen #malware is nuking #data in #Russia’s courts and mayors’ offices
“After examining a sample of #malware, we found out that this #Trojan, although it masquerades as a #ransomware and extorts #money from the victim for ‘decrypting’ data, does not actually #encrypt, but purposefully destroys data in the affected system,” #Kaspersky’s report stated. “Moreover, an analysis of the Trojan's program #code showed that this was not a developer's mistake, but his original intention.”
