Sage 100

This just in from a client. At first I thought it was referring to Sage 100c business care renewals but apparently there is now ransom ware out named after Sage. Anyone else seen this?

Is this supplementing Sage Business Cloud or maybe replacing it?

Sage has found a way to boost their profits!

Maybe it's the new way to achieve PCI compliance.

You aren't helping.......

No, it's real, but I'm not sure it's related to Sage Software at all.

Here is some information on it - https://blog.malwarebytes.com/threat-analysis/2017/03/explained-sage-ransomware/

It looks like we should be prepared to field calls from our customers, though, since they will not distinguish between what it is and the Sage name. This is a great opportunity for Sage to capitalize on the name and provide links and resources to help customers prevent this. Unfortunately, they have their own organizational issues, and wouldn't know who to assign. We have a number of 90 Minds members, including my IT Security group, that could also be resources . . .

Can see it now - Sage introduces Sage 100K!!
