New malware found

Post by danost »

The operators of the SFile ransomware (aka Escal) have developed a Linux version of their malware

this variant is for the moment for FreeBSD but good to be watchful for further variants.

There is nothing in the cited article (which is based on the Rising's Security analisys) how the malware was installed on the compromised systems and if such affected systems were found the wild. What was provided is a piece of code of cryptographic operations. Anyone can write out of their head several encryption one-liners. Still there is a conclusion at the end of the article:
Poducts such as Rising ESM anti-virus terminal security protection system can intercept and kill related ransomware. Users can install Rising's security products to avoid corresponding risks.

So the "article" is just basically an advertisement.
