As a consequence, several other companies such as the airport operator Aena took the precautionary step of shutting down various services (one reason being that Everis staff are often based on site at their clients).<\/p>   <p>Following analysis of the latest attacks, security experts assume that the ransomware causing the damage is a variant of the BitPaymer group of malware and used Dridex as a vehicle to achieve a targeted infiltration of the companies\u2019 networks.
