  1. The Register: Microsoft shuts down illegal code-signing operation used by ransomware crims to mask their malware. “Microsoft seized websites and took down hundreds of virtual machines running a cybercrime service that allegedly sold code-signing certificates to ransomware gangs, thus making their malware look like legitimate software – and allowing criminals to infect thousands of machines in […]

  3. @Lucseleventje @Marloezovic en #yivi zouden verzekeraars, banken en #odido achtigen ook kunnen gebruiken in plaats van het opslaan overal en nergens van paspoorten en rijbewijzen .
    Opslaan aantal soorten gevoelige gegevens hoeft technisch niet meer met yivi! Als er dan een hack komt zoals bij #odido is er veel minder impact voor betrokken burgers.

    Moet wel de wet worden aangepast. Opslaan paspoort en is gegevens mag niet meer: #pki based bewijs is immers voldoende (yivi achtig cryptografische ondertekening is het zo goed bewijs van identiteit 🫆, zo niet veel beter want automatiseerbaar)

  5. Ich sitze gerade an einem Artikel über Backup-Strategien unter Linux.

    Prinzipiell bin ich ein Freund von Automatisierungen, da ich mich kenne und weiß, wie leicht ich ein manuell angestoßenes Backup vergesse.

    Ein Problempunkt ist aber bei einem permanent angeschlossenen Laufwerk Ransomeware & Co., sprich, dass die Schadsoftware auch zum Backup springt.

    Wie verfahrt Ihr, um Euer Backup zu schützen?

  7. @GossiTheDog #ransomeware is very much about long downtime and business processes being disrupted

  8. Disneyland Paris. The Hackyiest place on Earth.

    (at least according to the ransomware group Anubis - who claim to have glommed 64 GB of data from La souris française)

  10. Top Malware - May 2025

    Check Point Research has released its May 2025 Malware Report, in which SafePay emerged as the most prevalent ransomware group, utilizing a double-extortion strategy to encrypt files while exfiltrating sensitive data. The group features an exclusion of machines that use Cyrillic-language keyboard, suggesting potential ties to Russian-affiliated actors, and has surpassed 200 victims, with nearly 20% of its targets in Germany.

  11. Auf Reddit gerade eine Nachricht, dass es eine große Lebensmittelkette mit einem Ransomware-Angriff zerrissen hat. Es erfolgte auch schon so lange, dass Backups nicht "erreichbar" sind.

    Gerade mal die Kassensysteme funktionieren wohl.

    Wer mag das wohl sein …

    Unabhängig davon:

    Habt ein Incident Management. Habt einen Manager dafür. Spielt Szenarien durch (Testen, Testen, Testen). Macht Backups, die offline gesichert werden. Monitored eure Systeme.

  13. I'm seeking information on his often #Ransomeware attackers actually gain access to an domain admin account. Is this the typical case or rather rare?
    Is any data on this published?

  17. - you can make your own micro-learnings according to your own policies

    etc. (2/2)

    So imho anti-phishing campains can be detrimental if you use them wrong. But if you choose right they will enhance your security. Of course it should be one of layers only in your defense in depth. But given the high thread of #ransomeware you must train your employees

  19. Lots of non-experts chiming in with their expert commentary on the #ARRL #Ransomeware disclosure. The main thing I hear people bitching about is the wrong thing to be focusing on. Your anger should be more focused on why the organization didn't have immutable/offline backups and didn't take the secure storage of members data more seriously. #HamRadio

  20. British library hit by a cyberattack some time ago.

    That must for sure been a dictionary attack or I don’t know what.

    #joke #ransomeware

  21. They're should be a law that if you're a biz and you pay #ransomeware, you're fined 2x what you paid the ransom and the owner/CEO spends two months in jail.
