Mamba was among the first samples of ransomware that encrypted hard drives rather than files that was detected in public attacks, primarily against organizations in Braziland in a high-profile incursion against the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency last November.
Researchers at Kaspersky Lab said today in a report that a new run of Mamba infections have been spotted again in Brazil and Saudi Arabia.
