Nemty ransomware is under active development, although its version number may not show it. Its authors are clearly making efforts to make it a more efficient and sophisticated malware and it begins wider distribution.
The malware is new in the business and its cold reception in the ransomware underground community did not help it take off the way its administrators wanted.
Despite making changes to the code, Nemty authors kept the same version number, shows an analysis from security researcher Vitali Kremez. The code, however, shows modifications that make the ransomware more aggressive in its actions.
