Security News Aggressive Campaign Compromises Websites to Deliver Ransomware and Financial Malware

[Andra Zaharia]

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to share our latest security alert, which includes details on an aggressive campaign involving RIG exploit kit that spreads Cerber ransomware and the Panda Trojan Banker (distributed according to geographical location).

You can find all the details here: https://heimdalsecurity.com/blog/security-alert-compromised-websites-ransomware-financial-malware/

Once again, the importance of updates and multi-layered protection comes up (as always). I feel like a broken record emphasizing this, but I think we all need to keep pushing this message out there.

No need to click on anything. The redirect happens automatically (unfortunately for less cyber-savvy users).

It seems when you visit the compromised websites, they will be automatically redirected you to malicious pages.
