MBR-Oni Bootkit Ransomware - S3xySmurf - 11-01-2017
@Oni has been busy.
Earlier this year a new ransomware, dubbed ONI, was discovered in Japan. It is described as a sub-species of the GlobeImposter ransomware. Researchers blogged in July, "When it infects it, it encrypts the file, assigns the extension .oni to the filename, and asks for payment to decrypt it."
