Microsoft says it observed destructive malware in systems belonging to several #Ukraine govt agencies reuters.com/world/europe/m…
This is far bigger than we thought and the attack now looks more like a preparation for a massive attack:
"Microsoft said on Sunday it continued to analyse the malware and warned it could render government digital infrastructure inoperable."
"Microsoft said on Sunday it continued to analyse the malware and warned it could render government digital infrastructure inoperable."
“The malware, which is designed to look like ransomware but lacking a ransom recovery mechanism, is intended to be destructive and designed to render targeted devices inoperable rather than to obtain a ransom”
On infected systems, a "fake" ransomware was found. While the message of the malware says you can restore your hard drive with paying a ransom, it actually destroys your system, making it inaccessible. This activity is ofc inconsistent with cybercriminal ransomware activity.
