HILDACRYPT: A Ransomware Newcomer Hits Backup and Anti-virus Solutions
A new ransomware family was discovered in August 2019. Called HILDACRYPT, it is named after the Netflix cartoon “Hilda” because the TV show’s YouTube trailer was included in the ransom note of the original version of the malware.
