Pop quiz: Which one of these is not a new ransomware noted recently:
- Sharp
- Knot
- Chinese Take-Out
- Hidden Tear
- Babuk
- Niros
- Bonsoir
Not sure? I can’t keep up with all the variants and new types. But thankfully, there’s BleepingComputer, where I can find a weekly rundown on developments. Read their rundown from this week and you’ll find the answer to the pop quiz.
