Cleo Chaos: Ransomware Exploits Spark Urgent Product Updates Amid Cl0p Claims
Cleo is urging customers to upgrade its Harmony, VLTrader, and LexiCom products after patches were bypassed, leading to ransomware attacks. The Russia-linked gang Cl0p claims responsibility, but experts are skeptical. Cleo’s latest update attempts to close the security gap, but the hunt for definitive proof of Cl0p’s involvement continues.
