This week the biggest news was attackers breaking into Iomega NAS devices, wiping the drives, and then leaving ransom notes. It is not known if any users were able to recover their files after paying the ransom.
We also had a new Android ransomware that was using infected phones to spread itself other victims via SMS texts.
Otherwise, it has mostly been new variants of existing ransomware families.
