Cerber Ransomware – New, But Mature
Posted March 11, 2016 by hasherezade

Ransomware authors seem to love mythological creatures. We have seen Chimera, now we will take a look at Cerber. Both are named after powerful beasts and both are prepared in a professional way. As SenseCy states (source), Cerber is sold to distributors on underground Russian forums.
This malware is often distributed via Exploit Kits (read more here).
UPDATE: Checkpoint released a decryption tool working for some cases of Cerber
