Webroot Protects You Against Bad Rabbit

Webroot customers are protected from the Bad Rabbit malware that is affecting computers across Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, a few surrounding Eastern-European countries, as well as Japan.

What we know about Bad Rabbit thus far:

Bad Rabbit is a well-made piece of malware that uses a lot of clever tricks to spread, similar to NotPetya, which affected customers across the globe this summer.

Bad Rabbit has been successful as it has worm-like behavior, using embedded usernames and passwords to move laterally through the network.

Attackers used compromised websites, most of which are news sources local to the APAC/Eastern European region, as watering-hole infection vectors which helps explain the geographic location.
