A new strain of GandCrab ransomware has been discovered in the digital wilderness.
‘GandCrab version 3 was released earlier this week with a few noticeable changes. The most noticeable change is the addition of a desktop background and an autorun that causes the ransomware to start automatically when you reboot the computer.’
‘Fortinet, also spotted GandCrab v3 being distributed through malspam campaigns. These malspam emails contain subjects like “Order #65121” and contain attachments with a VBS downloader that installs GandCrab v3.’
