Cybercriminals have exploited the release of another Windows update to launch an attack.
According to the experts from Trustwave, Internet users receive emails in which they are informed about the need to install an important system update.

Email content: “Please install the latest critical update Microsoft attached to this email”

Attached to the message is a fabricated file with *.JPG extension, which is actually a script that launches the download of the Cyborg ransomware.
Ransomware encrypts data on the disk, thus forcing a ransom. The data decryption value is estimated at $500.
