In response to the news that Symantec has discovered a new crypto ransomware, which is affecting Australian computers and is styled around the infamous TV show Breaking Bad, Comments from Kevin Epstein, VP of Advanced Security and Governance at Proofpoint: “While the new TV-show branding of the malware by the attackers shows their confidence in being able to operate with impunity against systems protected by legacy signature-based defenses, it’s concerning that the group reporting is just now ‘discovering’ ransomware, given the malware’s extensive coverage in major media outlets and Proofpoint’s blog over the last year.
