New Ransomware Utilizes Unprecedented Attack Method According to Cointelegraph

A recent study has raised concerns about a new ransomware attack method that utilizes a virtual machine on targeted computers to facilitate infection. This technique may make it difficult for local antivirus software to detect and respond to the attack.

Cybersecurity firm Sophos, based in the UK, reports that the Ragnar Locker attack is highly selective, primarily targeting companies rather than individual users.

The emergence of this attack method highlights the evolving landscape of ransomware threats and the need for enhanced security measures.
