The Bad Guys have matured to the point of now offering servcies to other cyber criminals, called Ransomware As a Service. Govn't agencies are warning of this ongoing threat trend. What can we do about it? Three simple things: 1) Install updates for operating systems, software, and firmware as soon as they are released. 2) Require phishing-resistant MFA (i.e., non-SMS text based) for as many services as possible. 3) Train users to recognize and report phishing attempts. It's not rocket science and we as businesses an no longer afford to ignore this threat. #StopRansomware: RansomHub Ransomware | CISA

Just like you might "rent" software in your business - like Microsoft 365 or Google Workplace, the bad guys now provide software a s service to other criminals. And the business model they use is VERY mature including KPI dashboards for things like how many Phishing emails sent, how many systems infected, what type of computers, location, did they pay etc. But it's not impossible to defend again. Three simple measures helps lower your risks to becoming the next statistic.

It seems that a new threat has risen... literally. Risen (v1.1) is a high-speed ransomware written in C, using ChaCha20 and RSA 2048 encryption, optimized for Windows, and equipped with advanced anti-forensic capabilities and a TOR-based data leak infrastructure. As it begins an active recruitment campaign for affiliates, Risen could "rise" into becoming a significant threat.

The call to action has never been stronger with this incident and its impact on us. I recalled my conversations with fellow attendees at the Global Marine Transportation System (MTS) Cybersecurity Symposium 2024, back in May 2024 on the current state of cybersecurity in the maritime sector. It was widely acknowledged that the key threat is cyber supply chain compromise as regardless if one is a port operator, shipping company, regulator or a service provider, the exchange of information and data needed passed through many hands before arriving at the destination. Then, the unanimous ask was for 1) better harmonisation and standardisation of cybersecurity standards and frameworks; and 2) better information and intelligence sharing across the maritime community. With the recent incident, are pushing these alone sufficient?

CrowdStrike, a leading cybersecurity firm, released a faulty content update to the Falcon sensor on 19 July 2024, disrupting Windows devices. In the wake of this incident, cybercriminals quickly exploited the situation. They are registering fake websites to trick IT personnel and the public into downloading malware or revealing sensitive information. Additionally, unofficial code is circulating, falsely claiming to assist organisations in recovering from the outages. Our latest threat advisory (July 22, 2024) has been issued, highlighting fake domain names linked to the CrowdStrike incident.

#Ransomware affected 66% of organisations in 2023, according to Sophos' "The State of Ransomware 2023" report, with criminals targeting a wide range of victims including hospitals, schools, and governments. So, what is ransomware? It is a type of malicious software, or malware, which prevents a victim from accessing their computer files, systems, or networks and demands them to pay a ransom for their return. Ransomware attacks can cause costly disruptions to operations and the loss of critical information and data. How can PCA help?

Ransomware's growth is fueled by specialized cybercrime groups, notably Initial Access Brokers, who facilitate network access for attackers. These brokers sell various access points on the Dark Web, posing a significant threat to organizations. Implementing multifactor authentication and monitoring leaked credentials can mitigate this risk and hinder ransomware attacks orchestrated by IABs. \#Cybersecurity \#CyberThreat \#Ransomware https://lnkd.in/gqcr28EG
