French security researchers have released a pair of decryption tools for WanaCrypt0r ransomware that can salvage infected victims' files under specific circumstances.

Analysis of the WanaCrypt0r 2.0 ransomware that bedeviled enterprise across the globe this past weekend has reportedly turned up potential links to the alleged North Korean hacking institution known as the Lazarus Group.

The Terror Exploit Kit is rapidly evolving, no longer bombarding victims with multiple exploits in scattershot fashion, but rather applying only the hacking tools that work best against a specific compromised machine.

Trend Micro researchers are taking a stand against the published reports stating UIWIX ransomware is the new WannaCry when, in fact, the only thing it has in common with Wanacrypt0r is its threat vector.

The exploit of Microsoft's Windows, which led to the spreading of the WannaCry scourge throughout the globe late last week, was a well-kept secret for five years at the National Security Agency...until it wasn't.

A malware operation reportedly has been tricking millions of Android device owners into infecting themselves with the Ztorg rootkit trojan by enticing them with offers from ad networks and apps that pay users for installing content.

Banking malware targeting mobile users requires little tech know-how to develop and operate, so it stands as a recurrent battle for security professionals.
