The news comes days after more than 70 Ukrainian government websites were defaced by groups allegedly associated with Russian secret services. But Microsoft said it “has not found any notable associations” between the malware it found and the website attacks that occurred last week. “MSTIC assesses that the malware, which is designed to look like ransomware but lacking a ransom recovery mechanism, is intended to be destructive and designed to render targeted devices inoperable rather than to obtain a ransom,” Microsoft explained....

Reynolds stuck with the project, developed the script over a decade, garnered fan support, and eventually turned out the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time....
