Spike in Snake Ransomware Activity Attributed to New Campaign

"Security researchers attributed a spike in Snake ransomware activity to a new campaign that’s targeted organizations worldwide.

Snake ransomware first attracted the attention of malware analysts in January 2020 when they observed the crypto-malware family targeting entire corporate networks.

Shortly after this discovery, the threat quieted down. It produced few new detected infections in the wild for the next few months. That was until May 4, when ID Ransomware registered a sudden spike in submissions for the ransomware."
