As reported by Bleeping Computer’s Lawrence Abrams, UL detected suspicious activity on its network last weekend. At-risk systems were shut down as soon as possible to prevent the ransomware from spreading further.

That’s what the FBI advises all ransomware victims to do. There are numerous potential pitfalls for those who do pay.
