"Bad Rabbit"?... Monty Python isn't with it, are they?...

forgive the interruption and the language, but ya gotta admit, the anti-malware sure works...


shameless plug at the end also.

Well, they've found Bad Rabbit in the US, though no known infection as of the last link I read, but some locations in Eastern Europe are sure having a time of it! I still haven't read if it targets any particular vulnerability, or if it's just the payload in the fake Adobe Flash Player update... Pictures of folks standing in lines at the grocery store, or the airport or the bank kind of crack me up... how does a POS terminal get hit? Oh, right! MS Windoze...
