      AES-NI Ransomware Dev Releases Decryption Keys Amid Fears of Being Framed for XData Outbreak

      https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/aes-ni-ransomware-dev-releases-decryption-keys-amid-fears-of-being-framed-for-xdata-outbreak/

      Does this mean that the AES-NI in Intel chips are vulnerable & since i use one do i need to do anything now?

      I know its not a pfSense issue, but just want to know if this is something i need to watch out for

        This is the part I like.

        …hopefully the fear of being sent to a Russian prison, or worse, may be enough...

        I think WCry hitting Russia so hard was a very big mistake.

          It looks like "AES-NI" is just the name of the ransomware and may have nothing to do with Intel's instruction set by the same name.
