Ransomware Rodeo: Cyber-Slapdowns, Apple’s Zero-Day Heroics, and a Trickbot Takedown!

Cloudy with a chance of ransomware! Credit unions are feeling the burn as a ransom-aware attack strikes their cloud provider, Ongoing Operations. In other news, the digital playground of Roblox and Twitch is the latest victim of ransomware gang ALPHV/BlackCat.

Hot Take:

It might be time to start printing money in your basement, because credit unions are getting cyber-slapped by ransomware! And if you thought you could escape reality in the virtual world of Roblox, think again. Ransomware gangs are now targeting the digital playground. Meanwhile, Apple scrambled to patch a couple of nasty iOS zero-days. On the bright side, they've turned bug squashing into a fine art. In other news, the Trickbot creator faces a possible 35 years in jail, proving once again that crime doesn't pay (even in bitcoin). Lastly, CISA's Goldstein suggests ditching the 'patch faster, fix faster' model. Maybe we should start a new hashtag, #SecureByDefault?
