The FBI and the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency are warning email users against a dangerous ransomware scheme
Cybersecurity officials warn of Medusa ransomware attacks, which use phishing to steal credentials and encrypt/exfiltrate data for double extortion. Medusa affects various sectors and advertises data sales on its leak site. Mitigation includes patching, multi-factor authentication, and strong passwords. Since February, it has hit more than 300 victims.
