A new ransomware campaign dubbed “Bad Rabbit” has hit a number of high profile targets in Russia and Eastern Europe. First detected on October 24th, 2017, Bad Rabbit was originally detected in Russia and Ukraine, along with a small number of infections reported in parts of eastern Europe, Turkey, and Germany. However, the attack now appears to be spreading to other regions, including reports from South Korea and the US.

To further expand and solidify the power of threat information and intelligence sharing, specialists, researchers, and consumers of threat intelligence are gathering at the annual CyberNext DC on October 25, 2017. The Cyber Threat Alliance, the Coalition for Cybersecurity Policy and Law, and the National Security Institute are this year’s conference sponsors. Keynotes will be delivered by Ron Johnson, US Senator from Wisconsin and Senate Homeland Security chair, and Michael Daniel, President & CEO of the Cyber Threat Alliance.
