From Chaos to Classrooms: Akira Ransomware Hits Stanford University – An Unorthodox Approach to Data Mining!
Akira ransomware group’s latest victim? Stanford University’s cybersecurity system. The term ‘data mining’ takes on a new meaning as Akira claims a hefty 430GB of undisclosed data. The ‘Stanford Edition’ of CSI: Cyber begins, where Akira plays the villain in the server room, leaving us guessing about their cunning ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ style playbook.
Hot Take:
Stanford, we have a problem - and it isn't Astro 101's final exam. The infamous Akira ransomware group decided to take a break from their regular programming of mayhem and chaos to hit the books, or rather, Stanford University's cybersecurity system. While it's admirable that Akira is seeking higher education, we think they're taking the term 'data mining' a bit too literally.
