    Comodo Threat Intelligence Lab SPECIAL REPORT: AUGUST 2017 – IKARUSdilapidated Locky Part II: 2nd Wave of Ransomware Attacks Uses Your Scanner/Printer, Post Office Billing Inquiry THREAT RESEARCH LABS Locky Ransomware August 2017 Special Report Part II A second wave of new but related IKARUSdilapidated Locky ransomware attacks has occurred, building on the attacks discovered by the Comodo Threat Intelligence Lab (part of Comodo Threat Research Labs) earlier in the month of August 2017. This late August campaign also uses a botnet of “zombie computers” to coordinate a phishing attack which sends emails appearing to be from your organization’s scanner/printer (or other legitimate source) and ultimately encrypts the victims’ computers and demands a bitcoin ransom. SPECIAL REPORT 2 THREAT RESEARCH LABS The larger of the two attacks in this wave presents as a scanned image emailed to you from your organization’s scanner/printer. As many employees today scan original documents at the company scanner/printer and email them to themselves and others, this malware-laden email will look very innocent. The sophistication here includes even matching the scanner/printer model number to make it look more common as the Sharp MX2600N is one of the most popular models of business scanner/printers in the market. This second wave August 2017 phishing campaign carrying IKARUSdilapidated Locky ransomware is, in fact, two different campaigns launched 3 days apart. The first (featuring the subject “Scanned image from MX-2600N”) was discovered by the Lab to have commenced primarily over 17 hours on August 18th and the second (a French language email purportedly from the French post office featuring a subject including “FACTURE”) was executed over a 15-hour period on August 21st, 2017.

  • Cloud Performance from the End User
    CLOUD PERFORMANCE FROM THE END USER A CloudOps ANALYSIS OF CLIENT-SIDE LATENCY AND AVAILABILITY ON CLOUD PLATFORMS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We analyzed several days’ data collected worldwide from visitors to specially instrumented sites. The data totaled nearly three hundred million individual tests, conducted by 1.2 million individual browser visits, measuring performance and availability of nine cloud providers. Some quick lessons learned include: Regional effects matter tremendously, and the difference between countries can be significant. Directing a regional client to the correct regionalized zone for a cloud provider does improve performance. The average time to complete an HTTP request and receive a response, worldwide, was 426.4 milliseconds. The average availability worldwide was 97.69%. While most cloud providers had roughly similar average availability, a closer analysis of percentiles shows that the worst-served visitors fared very differently. This underscores the importance of doing proper analysis on performance data. End user information is an important complement to synthetic testing. While the results aren’t as consistent, they provide insight into the conditions of far-flung end users across a broad spectrum of networks and countries. Given variance in cloud performance and availability by region and by day, it makes sense for serious cloud users to hedge their bets, and find ways to arbitrate cost and service quality across providers. PAGE 2 > CLOUD PERFORMANCE FROM THE END USER www.cloudops.com INTRODUCTION The risk and uncertainty of cloud computing platforms are often cited as major obstacles to adoption by a broader audience, particularly those of mainstream businesses. In this report, we analyze data provided by Cedexis to estimate the performance of several leading cloud providers from the end users’ point of view.
