These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe.

NailaoLocker Ransomware: Europe’s Healthcare Gets a Not-So-Funny Bone Tickling
NailaoLocker ransomware is crashing the European healthcare party—and not in a good way. This malware, part of The Green Nailao campaign, is as subtle as a banana peel on a dance floor. It’s targeting organizations with a mix of espionage and financial mischief, but its design is more “homebrew” than “high-tech.”
Hot Take:
Looks like NailaoLocker needs to hit the gym of cyber threats because this ransomware is the equivalent of a gentle tickle rather than a menacing punch. While it’s causing a ruckus, this malware seems to be the glitchy amateur in an Olympic team of cybercriminals. With a penchant for healthcare, it’s clear these hackers are taking the Hippocratic Oath just a tad too literally – “first, do no harm” unless it’s poorly designed ransomware!
Key Points:
- NailaoLocker ransomware targeted EU healthcare organizations in 2024.
- Hackers exploited a Check Point VPN zero-day vulnerability, CVE-2024-24919.
- Campaign included use of ShadowPad and PlugX malware.
- NailaoLocker is seen as unsophisticated, lacking in finesse.
- Ransomware linked to China-linked APT groups, but attribution remains vague.
