[2016-05-10] Bucbi Ransomware Resurfaces Through Targeted Attacks

[jdebunt]

The latest iteration of Bucbi was identified by Palo Alto security researchers a week ago, as a Windows Server was infected by this malware. As part of the attack, the server owner had to pay a fee of five bitcoins to restore file access, worth US$2,320 at the time of infection. Quite a significant amount, but still a lot cheaper than shutting down critical enterprise services for an extended period.
