A new ransomware has been discovered by MalwareHunterTeam that is based off of the InfiniteTear ransomware family, of which BlackRuby and Zenis are members. When this ransomware infects a computer it will encrypt the files, scramble the filenames, and append the .WHITEROSE extension to them.
It is not currently known for sure how this ransomware is being distributed, but reports indicate it is being manually installed by hacking into Remote Desktop services. Furthermore, based on the submissions to ID-Ransomware, the developer of this ransomware appears to be targeting European countries, with a strong focus on Spain.

The WhiteRose ransom note reads like a poem
Both the BlackRuby Ransomware and now WhiteRose have ransom notes that read more like an assignment from a creative writing course rather than a ransom demand.
In WhiteRose's ransom note, the developer tells the story of an isolated and lonely hacker surrounded by white roses in a garden. They go on to state that they want to share their white roses with the world by encrypting your computer and transforming it into a flower.
