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...
