[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 1044740, member: 7463"] Although ransomware continues to be a hot topic, in actuality the threat is more of perception than actuality. The breaches that one may see in the News are more likely the result of inside jobs by disgruntled employees than any extrinsic attack. One can conclude that this is the case simply due to the paucity of any new ransom mechanism; recent stuff in the Wild are primarily clones of well known ransom types like Phobos and BlackBasta which present no detection issues for the majority of AM products. Concentration instead should be placed on the current Clear and Present danger of Data Stealers which are much more prevalent, diverse, and a great deal more financially profitable for the malware writer (and much more destructive for the home user).
