"The French security researcher “Kafeine” has discovered a new variant of the popular Angler exploit kit that includes the exploit code for a recently patched Adobe Flash Player vulnerability (CVE-2015-8446). Kafeine reported that new exploit code was added to the Angler exploit kit on December 14. The new Angler exploit kit has been used by threat actors in the wild to spread the TeslaCrypt ransomware. Once the ransomware infects a PC, it encrypts files and renames them with a .vvv extension requesting the payment of a $500 ransom within one week, after which the price to recover the files increases to $1,000." sorce:Angler exploit kit includes the code of a recent Flash flawSecurity Affairs
