Locky Ransomware is Back
Locky, a ransomware variant that was once upon a time one of the most popular types of ransomware, is back. This return is not surprising. Cyber criminals would rather make slight alterations to existing malware and reuse it, then have to create it from scratch. By making even the simplest changes, a known threat can become an unknown file. This is exactly what the hackers want, and here’s why.
Most security programs utilize a blacklist as their primary method of malware detection. A blacklist is a list of all known threats. If an unknown file tries to execute on a computer with a security program that uses a blacklist — it will run. Why? Because it is not a known threat. See the issue?
