A new and particularly troublesome ransomware variant has been identified in the wild. Dubbed NextCry, this nasty strain of ransomware encrypts data on NextCloud Linux servers and has managed to evade the detection of public scanning platforms and antivirus engines. To make matters worse, there is currently no free decryption tool available for victims.
NextCloud recommends that administrators upgrade their PHP packages and NGINX configuration file to the latest version to protect against NextCry attacks.
Ransomware often arrives via email, and ransomware emails can be very difficult to identify.
