Since then, as recovery efforts continue, the company said they’re at about 90-percent operational capacity. According to sources familiar with the investigation, the SamSam…

If you haven’t heard of SamSam, you haven’t been paying attention. Just one example of the kind of destruction they can cause is the recent attack on the Colorado Department of Transportation which caused downtime for 2,000+ systems. This new SamSam strain adds a human element to its already devious mix of evasive techniques to keep antivirus, endpoint, and even more advanced security software from detecting it. SamSam avoids being discovered using sophisticated…
