Quote:A distributor for the Sodinokibi Ransomware is hacking into WordPress sites and injecting JavaScript that displays a fake Q & A forum post over the content of the original site. This fake post contains an "answer" from the site's "admin" that contains a link to the ransomware installer.
 
As security software and people become more aware of the methods that are used to distribute ransomware and malware, affiliates need to come up with craftier methods to infect their victims. 

Such is the case with a new distribution method that overlays a fake Questions and Answers forum on top of the content of a hacked site. This fake forum post will contain information related to the content of the page that the user is visiting, so it appears that the answer and link offered by the admin is legitimate. In reality, though, the downloaded file will infect the user with the Sodinokibi, or REvil, Ransomware.
