As profits decline, in desperation, even big-name #ransomware groups are resorting to re-extortion (which they previously avoided because it's bad for their reputation) and hitting any/all sectors, leading to a surge in healthcare attacks. h/t @coveware @uuallan @Intel_by_KELA

Ransomware responders say 'amateur' tactics are leading fewer victims to pay, as reliability of decryptors decreases & more crypto-locking malware simply shreds files. Quality is down because more attackers are using leaked code (not RaaS). databreachtoday.com/blogs/ra… @euroinfosec

Just saw a ransomware actor provide a malicious decryptor after they were paid. Don't intentionally run a criminal's code in your environment! @coveware was able to quickly provide a legitimate decryptor with the purchased key.

Protecting against #ransomware is difficult, but not impossible. The key weapon in every organization’s arsenal is, of course, knowledge — which has to be nurtured continuously and extensively via hands-on skills development for IT staff. buff.ly/3psf3oE #CyberSecurity
