4. It spreads via a fake Flash update on compromised websites

The main way Bad Rabbit spreads is drive-by downloads on hacked websites. No exploits are used, rather visitors to compromised websites -- some of which have been compromised since June -- are told that they need to install a Flash update. Of course, this is no Flash update, but a dropper for the malicious install.

details are at zdnet.com

NEVER NEVER NEVER click on a popup suggesting you need a Flash Update.

Instead, ALWAYS go directly to www.adobe.com to get all maintenance for Flash!

CAVEAT EMPTOR!
