A group calling themselves The_Gentelman has kindly locked up nine victims across the UK and Brazil. At least someone in this industry still has some semblance of manners, I suppose.

The Full Story
The_Gentelman has decided to grace the UK and Brazil with a sudden surge of activity, proving that even in cybercrime, branding is everything. They have focused their unwanted attention on the transportation and technology sectors, sectors that presumably enjoy a good morning of staring at encrypted files. To avoid being their next guest of honour, one might consider maintaining offline backups and keeping systems patched, though I realize that asking for basic maintenance is a bit like asking for a sunny day in London.
