here’s a looming ransomware strain on the horizon, and it combines two malware strains into one for greater impact. Aptly-named Satana, Italian for devil or Satan, is an aggressive form of ransomware that wreaks havoc in two steps, according to the blog of internet security company Malwarebytes.
Satana is actually part of a copycat family, developed from malware-strain Petya, which blocks user access by infiltrating low-level structures. This differs from typical ransomware in that it encrypts files one at a time.
