With names like AstraLocker, RedAlert, CheckMate and Maui, today’s ransomware programs sound more like video games than programs that will shut down a network, steal customer information and disrupt a business for weeks or longer. According to CFC, a specialist insurance provider, you can add another ransomware risk to the list. The latest entrant, known as “BazarCall,” targets small businesses in particular.
CFC said in a press release that “the BazarCall attack method has been growing in use among well-known ransomware groups and is responsible for an increasing number of malware infections observed by CFC over the past three months.”
