One recent attack demanded a ransom of $70m in cryptocurrency, and it is estimated that organizations paid nearly $600 million in ransom payments in just the first half of 2021--more than the total for all of 2020. Building out an anti-ransomware strategy is not just a good idea anymore, it is imperative. However, there are quite a few vendors in the market, making the selection process difficult.

As a victim, there are no good choices once an organization is hit by ransomware. You can ignore the ransom demand and restore your data from backups and take your chances with the risk of data exposure. At the same time, the reality is that it doesn't pay to pay--it is not a guarantee that you will get all of the data back in a usable state. In addition, when you pay the ransom you are essentially funding these criminals who are acting as terrorists. The chances are that you are funding additional research and development of the next exploit or ransomware variant, so paying the ransom just makes the problem bigger. Organizations that pay the ransom also risk putting a bullseye on their backs-making themselves attractive targets for future ransomware attacks because they have established that they're willing to pay. The only good option is to avoid having your data stolen or encrypted in the first place, which is why it needs to be a global priority to solve this crisis.]]> 2021-05-14T20:21:22+00:00 https://www.cybereason.com/blog/solving-the-ransomware-crisis www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=2788676 False Ransomware None None CybeReason - Vendor blog Colonial Pipeline was recently the victim of a devastating attack that shut down U.S. operations across the East Coast, threatening an already tenuous economic recovery effort.

This honeypot was a follow up to a previous successful honeypot launched two years ago in 2018 looking at the same industry. The honeypot was built to look like an electricity company with operations in North America and Europe.  In this new research, the Cybereason team identified multiple attackers executing ransomware operations involving data theft, the stealing of user credentials, and lateral movement across the victims network to compromise as many endpoints as possible. This includes critical assets like the domain controllers, which could take  between several minutes to several hours to properly infiltrate. Ransomware capabilities were deployed early on in the hacking operation, but it was not immediately detonated. The ransomware was designed to detonate only after preliminary stages of the attack finished across all compromised endpoints in order to achieve maximum impact on the victim. This operational attack pattern attempts to impact as many victim assets as possible, representing a higher risk to organizations compared to ransomware attacks that impact the single machine they initially access. However, this operational pattern also represents an opportunity for defenders with a rapid detection and response process to detect the attack at its early stages and respond effectively before ransomware is able to impact the environment.  Given the results of this research, we conclude that multistage ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure providers are increasingly dangerous and more prevalent.  Check out a condensed, high level version of this report on our threat alerts page. Background We live in a world of insecurity where hackers have the advantage over the vast majority of enterprises trying to protect their computer networks. No where is that more evident than with critical infrastructure providers, who are facing a constant barrage of cyberattacks from motivated and oftentimes well-funded groups of cybercriminals and state-sponsored actors.]]> 2020-06-11T04:15:00+00:00 https://www.cybereason.com/blog/cybereason-honeypot-multistage-ransomware www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=1798830 False Ransomware None None
