A new strain of ransomware was discovered and analyzed last week. According to researchers, the new piece is targeting one specific group of Mac OS users – those who are trying to crash legal copies of some very expensive software.
Dubbed Filecoder and also known as Findzip, the ransomware encrypts files but there is one problem. The encryption key isn’t sent back to the crooks, so they cannot provide it to victims even if the ransom sum is paid. As a result, the users who had their files locked by Filecoder and didn’t have a backup were forced to wave their data goodbye.
