This has been the slowest ransomware week in a long time! Thank you devs for giving me some time to do other things! For this week we have some smaller ransomware releases as well as new updates to existing ransomware. We also have the continuing saga of Fabian smacking the Stampado and Apocalypse devs around with new decryptors. Last, but not least, we have a major distribution campaign being conducted by a new Cerber affiliate.
Contributors and those who provided new ransomware info this week include:@MalwareTechBlog. @struppigel, @JakubKroustek, @fwosar, @malwrhunterteam, @PolarToffee,@DanielGallagher, @demonslay335, @JAMESWT_MHT, @Seifreed, @nyxbone, @BleepinComputer, and @Avira. If you are interested in ransomware or InfoSec, I suggest you follow all of them on Twitter.

HDDCryptor Ransomware Overwrites Your MBR Using Open Source Tools
HDDCryptor, sometimes spelled HDD Cryptor and also identified as Mamba, is a new ransomware variant discovered by Morphus Labs that rewrites a computer's MBR (Master Boot Record) boot sectors and locks users out of their PCs. While we might hurry to classify this as a Petya clone, HDDCryptor predates both Petya and Satana, being spotted on the Bleeping Computer forums at the end of January this year.
