REvil now changes your password, too!

rslade — Tue, 13 Apr 2021 18:02:18 GMT

The REvil ransomware family now has a new variant which, in addition to all the other messing about it does with your system, changes your password. (That's not a really great article in terms of detail, and it does seem to be a sales pitch for an online backup system. But ...)

(So, how long before someone comes up with a version that waits on your computer, watches while you sign on to various sites, and then changes all your passwords?)

Or just steals the one to your password manager?
