Ransomware Found Targeting Linux Servers, MySQL, Git, Other Development Files (drweb.com)

Posted by Soulskill on from the poaching-penguins dept.

An anonymous reader writes: A new piece of ransomware has been discovered that targets Linux servers, looking to encrypt only files that are related to Web hosting, Web servers, MySQL, Subversion, Git, and other technologies used in Web development and HTTP servers. Weirdly, despite targeting business environments, the ransomware only asks for 1 Bitcoin, a fairly low amount compared to other ransomware.
