An Email 'Love Letter' or Nemty Ransomware?

A newer ransomware, Nemty, uses emails disguised as a "love letter" from a secret admirer.

This spam campaign was identified by both Malwarebytes and X-Force IRIS researchers and has recently started distributing malicious messages via a persistent stream of emails.

The attackers use several subject lines that hint at the contents of the email being sent by someone the recipient already knows and are built using a love letter template with statements such as "Don't tell anyone," "I love you," "Letter for you," "Will be our secret," and "Can't forget you."
