Fog Ransomware Storms U.S. Schools: VPN Breaches Unlock Doors to Double-Extortion Chaos
Breaking into the edu-scene with more stealth than a foggy morning, a crafty ransomware called ‘Fog’ is schooling U.S. institutions through compromised VPNs. No extortion portal yet, but double-trouble data heists? You bet. Say hello to .FOG and .FLOCKED files—and goodbye to easy file restoration.
Hot Take:
It seems like the 'Fog' has rolled into the educational sector, and it's not the kind that'll clear up with the morning sun. These ransomware rascals have turned VPNs from virtual private networks into very problematic nuisances. With their sneaky 'pass-the-hash' and anti-Defender spells, they're casting digital darkness on schools, and the only lesson they're teaching is in extortion 101. No apple for the teacher—just a ransom note and a link to the dark web. Classy!Already a member? Log in here
