A ransomware campaign hit Eastern European transport systems and media outlets last week with what appears to be a variant of the Petya ransomware called Bad Rabbit.

New developments in the ransomware landscape show that cybercriminals are still dedicating time and resources to improving old variants and creating new families. This week we see new capabilities that make ransomware an even bigger threat.
Major events shook the global threat landscape in the first half of 2017. Our midyear security roundup covers the old and the new, from ransomware and BEC scams to potential attacks against industrial robots.
