It has been an busy week in terms of ransomware between a new variant of MegaCortex that performs something a bit different and MSP attacks against Everis in Spain.

This week a new MegaCortex variant was discovered that threatens to steal your data and publish it if you do not pay the ransom. In addition it states that your credentials have changed, which is not an idle threat as it does indeed change the victim's Windows password.
