Medusa Ransomware Strikes Again: 300 US Critical Infrastructure Hits and Counting!
CISA warns that the Medusa ransomware gang has tangled over 300 organizations in critical U.S. sectors. This cyber serpent slithered into the scene in 2021 but only sunk its fangs in deep by 2023. Now it’s Ransomware-as-a-Service, so keep your data safe before Medusa turns it to stone!
Hot Take:
Looks like Medusa’s been busy turning organizations into stone statues with fear! Who knew ransomware could be such a mythological nightmare? It’s a good thing Perseus isn’t around, or the hackers might be in trouble. But seriously, folks, it’s time to take this threat seriously and protect our critical infrastructure from the modern-day Gorgon!
Key Points:
- Medusa ransomware has impacted over 300 critical infrastructure organizations in the U.S.
- The operation launched a blog leak site in 2023 to pressure victims into paying ransoms.
- Medusa has evolved into a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model.
- Confusion exists due to multiple malware variants named Medusa.
- CISA and the FBI have issued mitigation recommendations to combat these attacks.
