Multiple Russian and Ukrainian organizations were hit with a ransomware attack Tuesday, causing disruptions across a number of different transportation hubs, including a major airport and transit system in Kiev, Ukraine and several Russian media organizations. The malware, dubbed “BadRabbit” by security researchers, will load a message in red text over a black background on infected computers, requesting payment from victims in order to unlock their systems.

Other overlaps also exist between NotPetya and BadRabbit, including the reuse of Diskcoder.D, a trojan that encrypts files on local drives, researchers say. #badrabbit found […]
