Campbell Conroy & O’Neil, a Boston-based law firm that serves Fortune 500 firms, including Apple and Pfizer, is continuing its investigation of a ransomware attack in February that resulted in unauthorized access to certain data about its clients.
The blockchain analysis firm Elliptic offers a step-by-step case study, based on its research, of how one victim of the REvil ransomware gang negotiated a lower ransom payment. The study offers insights into how REvil operated before its online infrastructure disappeared last week.
Now that the REvil ransomware gang has apparently shut down, victims are in a precarious situation. They must either rely on backups to restore data access or wait for the release of a decryptor, making sure they retain all encrypted files.
The gang behind the ransomware strain known as Mespinoza, aka PYSA, is targeting manufacturers, schools and others, mainly in the U.S. and U.K., demanding ransom payments as high as $1.6 million, according to Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42, which says the group leverages open-source tools.
A cybercrime forum seller advertised "a full dump of the popular DDoS-Guard online service" for sale, but the distributed denial-of-service defense provider, which has a history of defending notorious sites, has dismissed any claim it's been breached. What's the potential risk to its users?
Ransomware-wielding criminals continue to find innovative new ways to extort victims, develop technically and sidestep skills shortages by delivering ransomware as a service, said Robert Hannigan, the former head of U.K. intelligence agency GCHQ, in his Infosecurity Europe 2021 virtual keynote speech.
Threat intelligence researchers are looking closely at REvil, the ransomware gang that infected up to 1,500 companies in a single swoop. A look at the group's online infrastructure shows clear lines to Russian and U.K. service providers that, in theory, could help law enforcement agencies but don't appear eager to...
Software developer Kaseya has released patches for its remote monitoring software, which had been exploited by REvil ransomware attackers to infect up to 60 MSPs and 1,500 of their clients. The patches mitigate the final three vulnerabilities out of seven that researchers reported to Kaseya in early April.
In the latest weekly update, a panel of Information Security Media Group editors discusses the repercussions of the Kaseya ransomware incident, the immediate response of the cybersecurity community and key risk management takeaways.
As ransomware attacks become more prolific, their success is being driven by the increasing use of specialists who can refine every stage of an attack. It's a reminder that the goal of cybercrime remains to maximize illicit profits as easily and quickly as possible.
Two small Maryland towns are among the latest victims to come to light almost a week after the REvil ransomware supply chain attack that targeted Kaseya's VSA remote IT management software. The company says the attack on on-premises VSA installations affected about 60 of its managed service provider customers and up...
Ransomware-wielding criminals continue to hone their illicit business models, as demonstrated by the strike against customers of Kaseya. A full postmortem of the attack has yet to be issued, but one question sure to be leveled at the software vendor is this: Should it have fixed the flaw more quickly?
The REvil ransomware operation behind the massive attack centering on Kaseya, which develops software used by managed service providers, has offered to decrypt all victims - MSPs as well as their customers - for $70 million in bitcoins. Experts note this isn't the first time REvil has hit MSPs, or even Kaseya.
Owners of Western Digital My Book Live devices have seen their data remotely wiped by attackers targeting a flaw first detailed in 2019. But WD stopped supporting these devices in 2015, which is a reminder that the best way to secure some types of internet of things devices may be to discard them.
The recovery costs for the May ransomware attack on Health Service Executive, Ireland's publicly funded healthcare system, is likely to total $600 million, says Paul Reid, HSE's director general.
