Bad Rabbit: "Erwarten Sie eine Welle der Zerstörung"

Kommentar von Christian Vezina, Chief Information Security Officer bei VASCO

(PresseBox) (Wemmel, )
Am Dienstag traf die Malware Bad Rabbit die ersten Unternehmen und Institutionen in Russland, in der Ukraine, der Türkei, Bulgarien und auch Deutschland. Verbreitet wird die Malware offenbar über ein gefälschtes Adobe Flash Update.

Wie WannaCry und NotPetya handelt es sich um eine Erpresser-Malware, die wichtige Daten auf dem Rechner verschlüsselt und nur gegen Lösegeld (0,05 Bitcoins, rund 236 Euro) freigibt.

Christian Vezina, VASCOs Chief Information Security Officer, kommentiert den Angriff:

„Wenn Bad Rabbit annähernd vergleichbar mit NotPetya ist, dann seien Sie vorbereitet und erwarten Sie eine Welle der Zerstörung, nicht nur ein kleines Ärgernis.
