Quote:A new strain of yet another ransomware campaign has been discovered in which the malicious actors have expanded payment options beyond Bitcoin; they are instead offering alternatives (such as PayPal) that include a phishing link, according to MalwareHunterTeam.

Attackers are stealing a page from Daedalus and are killing two birds with one stone by including a link to make a payment. To obtain the decryption key, victims can follow the link to the PayPal phishing page, where their login credentials are stolen. The combination of two threat vectors makes this attack particularly dangerous for unsuspecting victims.
