The FBI and several other federal agencies issued a joint advisory on a ransomware service and website that has targeted 210 organizations in recent months.
In a joint bulletin released on Aug. 29, the FBI, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Department of Health and Human Services said that a ransomware gang called RansomHub has been behind at least 210 successful cyberattacks since February, targeting industry sectors involving water, wastewater, information technology, health care, government services, and more.
The group uses what the agencies called a “double-extortion model by encrypting systems and exfiltrating data” to extract a ransom payment from their victims, the bulletin said.
