Spora Gets an Update, But You're Safe With Acronis Active Protection
Spora ransomware has been active since the beginning of this year. Typically, it is distributed through spear phishing and watering hole attacks, but the recently discovered variant spreads through the HoeflerText pop-ups on infected websites in EITest campaigns. Even though Spora ransomware is not new, the latest modification, when it was first discovered, was only blocked by a limited number of anti-malware programs. This could be due to the fact that the new build is using the polymorphic encryptor to create new copies of itself for further spreading and extra code obfuscation. It also has a slightly changed payload.

Undetected PowerShell Ransomware Easily Blocked by Acronis Active Protection

Acronis Protects Critical Infrastructure From Zero-Day Malware Attacks
If you are interested in cybersecurity, you may remember Stuxnet, an infamous worm which stopped uranium enrichment plants in Iran back in 2010. It’s no longer a secret that it was an Israeli-American cyberweapon. Since that time there were a lot of cases where critical infrastructure was attacked without any political motivation. One recent case is Industroyer — a mix of cyber weapon and ransomware-like products. We were contacted by our big OEM partners running process control systems who asked about this threat, wondering if our newest anti-ransomware technology, namely Acronis Active Protection™ could help. And guess what? Acronis Active Protection does help!
