Hello,
The Transmission BitTorrent software was infected by ransomware
[1]. According to the research published by Palo Alto Networks the
ransomware could encrypt user files, e.g. files with the extensions
doc, .docx, .docm, .dot, .dotm, .ppt, .pptx, .pptm, .pot, .potx,
.potm, .pps, .ppsm, .ppsx, .xls, .xlsx, .xlsm, .xlt, .xltm, .xltx,
.txt, .csv, .rtf, .tex, .jpg, .jpeg, .mp3, .mp4, .avi, .mpg, .wav, .flac.
What the above means is that the user would lose access to his/her
documents, images and videos if the user installed Transmission version 2.90.
Regards,
S. Moonesamy
