Zepto, supposedly a variant of the well-known Locky ransomware, was recently spotted in a distribution campaign that involved over 100,000 spam messages, Cisco Talos security researchers warn.
Spotted for the first time in February, Locky needed only a couple of weeks to become one of the largest threats in the ransomware landscape, but it needed several months to spawn its first successor, it seems. This, however, doesn’t mean that the new piece of malware is less dangerous.
