Emerging Threat Actor: Nitrogen Ransomware #Nitrogen #ransomware emerged with a series of rapid ransomware deployments, and within a week, the group had claimed responsibility for 10 attacks. Nitrogen’s operation is distinct in its use of #malvertising, leveraging pay-per-click ads on platforms like #Google and #Bing to direct victims to compromised websites hosting #trojan software downloads. Nitrogen has been observed leveraging #DLL hijacking targeting IP Scanner software to load malicious DLLs and execute code, as well as deploying #Sliver or #CobaltStrike backdoors... https://lnkd.in/gawuCi8e #cybersecurity #infosec #security #cyberattack

North Korean APT Tied to Play Ransomware Attacks "It remains unclear whether #APT45 has officially become an affiliate for #Play #ransomware or if they acted as an #IAB [initial access broker] by selling network access to Play ransomware actors. If Play ransomware does not provide a RaaS ecosystem as it claims, Jumpy Pisces might only have acted as an IAB." This convergence of #APT and #cybercriminal elements not only enhances the sophistication of criminal networks but also allows state actors to obscure their involvement in attacks... https://lnkd.in/g5M6Dinr #cybersecurity #infosec #security #cyberattack #ransomware #DPRK

Are board members equipped with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about cybersecurity? With high-profile ransomware payments, like a recent $75 million settlement from a Fortune 50 company – the stakes are higher than ever. But while cybersecurity is a topic of concern in boardrooms, our Chief Security and Trust Officer Ben Carr and Patrick Heim, Manager and Co-Founder of SYN Ventures, pose the question of whether cybersecurity is being prioritized correctly, or whether it is being lost in the sea of daily operational noise. With organizations like the National Association of Corporate Directors and the Digital Directors Network pushing for more cybersecurity-savvy board members, there is momentum in board education. But what concerns and issues really bubble all the way up to the board? Is the board being told everything is fine, relying too much on the leadership in IT and security? In a world where the boardroom is often inundated with issues and where cyberattacks are making headlines daily, the fact remains that board members can only act on what they are told. Check out our full interview with Patrick in the link below.

Are educational institutions prepared for the next wave of ransomware attacks? Or are they unknowingly in the crosshairs of cybercriminals? The numbers suggest a harsh reality. A 2024 report revealed a staggering 105% increase in ransomware attacks against K-12 and higher education institutions in 2023. With the average ransom payment in 2023 skyrocketing to $4.4 million for universities and colleges. Join our Chief Security and Trust Officer, Ben Carr, as he delves into the cause and effects of ransomware in educational organizations, including: -Limited Resources: Many schools struggle with outdated IT systems and limited cybersecurity budgets, making them easy targets for ransomware operators. -Financial Burden: With ransom demands reaching $4.4 million on average, educational institutions face immense financial pressure to restore operations swiftly. -Disruption and Delay: Ransomware attacks have delayed academic programs, compromised research, and resulted in extended downtimes for essential campus services. -Data Sensitivity: Breaches often expose sensitive research data and personal information, leading to severe privacy violations and potential regulatory penalties under laws like FERPA and GDPR. The consequences of these attacks ripple through the academic world, impacting not just IT systems but the very foundation of learning and research. The Halcyon Anti-Ransomware Platform offers an AI/ML-powered solution trained on millions of ransomware samples. It defeats ransomware through built-in bypass and evasion protection, automated decryption, and prevention of data exfiltration, all while seamlessly integrating into existing IT systems without disrupting daily academic operations.

City of #Columbus Still Recovering from July Ransomware Attack Officials highlighted current efforts to restore “full internet restoration this week" for city employees - currently, city departments have restricted internet access through city Wi-Fi and permitted websites four months after the attack. Having a #ransomware incident response plan is only half the battle - the effectiveness of that plan needs continual testing, assessment, and refinement. To build resilience against ransomware, organizations need a proactive approach that covers all stages: detection, response, recovery, and ongoing evaluation. https://lnkd.in/gfu7F9ai #cybersecurity #infosec #security #cyberattack #ransomware #IR Halcyon
