It has been discovered that the network-targeting Ako ransomware is being distributed through malicious spam attachments that pretend to be a requested agreement.

Last week we reported on the Ako Ransomware and how it was targeting companies with the intent to encrypt their entire network. At the time, it was not known how it was being distributed and when we asked the ransomware operators they told us it was a "secret".

Since then, the ransomware identification site ID-Ransomware has seen an increasing amount of victims.
