CRN – Australian and New Zealand businesses are being hit with a ransomware campaign, according to Trend Micro. First detected in February, the ransomware, dubbed Crysis, is now targeting the two nations via remote desktop protocol (RDP) brute force attacks. The Crysis ransomware is spread through spam and targets are infected by clicking on a trojanised attachment – disguised with the use of double file extensions so the malware is perceived as a non-executable. The malware also can be delivered when recipients visit compromised websites that disseminate phony installers for legitimate programs and apps.
