The Annabelle Ransomware Is a Horrific Mess

Brent Reichow

发布日期: 2018年2月26日

While most ransomware is created to actually generate revenue, some developers create them to show off their "skills". Such is the case with a the new Annabelle Ransomware which includes everything but the kitchen sink when it comes to screwing up a computer.

This includes terminating numerous security programs, disabling Windows Defender, turning off the firewall, encrypting your files, trying to spread through USB drives, making it so you can't run a variety of programs, and then to sweeten the pot, it overwrites the master boot record of the infected computer with a silly boot loader - https://bit.ly/2CdB2ZG
