Warm- You are correct in that the ransomware is the same as others, but the worm-like mechanism of spread is the actual issue. None of the major corporate vendors have ever given a flying (add curse word here) about this, in spite of many, many breaches and warnings from those that have a (add curse word here)ing clue.
They would much prefer to "sweep things under the rug" with jive-time statements like the BD one or the horse(add curse word here) that Symantec puts out. The sad thing, and the problem going forward, is that many in the IT word just lap this crap up instead of actually thinking for themselves. This is very, very bad as a concerted effort by an accomplished Blackhat gang with a political agenda can really bring things down.
We should really thank God that the only things these guys want is BitCoins...
