Ransomware in the malware family name #23

Open Still34 opened 3 years ago

Summary

As the title suggests, it seems a little redundant to keep the word "Ransomware" in the title for ransomware, and at the moment it seems very inconsistent too (i.e., REvil vs. Conti Ransomware). Should the phrasing perhaps be removed from the title altogether?

alright, I fully agree! I've started normalizing naming by removing ransomware for a bunch of these families (55 renamed so far). For those, where it's in the "folder name", it'll be a bit more complicated because I probably have to restore references (that's 16 more). But I'll have it on the agenda and keep the issue open! thanks for pointing it out!
