I actually dealt with that a couple of times. The last one had two TAs, Blacksuit and a second TA who gained access in tandem without coordination. They both executed their encryptions on the network and it spread. Some had the BH extension and some files had the other. Invariably, both sets of files were double encrypted, but it varied on which was the prominent extension.
