Monti is back with a vengeance. The dreaded ransomware variant that dropped off the radar a couple of months ago has now returned with an upgraded encryptor and more bells and whistles.

Their conclusion is that it carries “significant” deviations from its other Linux-based predecessors. This one targets VMware ESXi servers, organizations in the public sector, and legal firms.
