The FBI alerts on rising ransomware trends and urges organizations to follow mitigation recommendations for minimizing ransomware risks and consequences.
In July 2023, the FBI observed two ransomware trends, and here we have mentioned them:-
- Multiple attacks on the same victim in quick succession.
- New data destruction tactics.
Threat actors have attacked the targeted companies with two unique ransomware variants from the list of ransomware types below:-
- AvosLocker
- Diamond
- Hive
- Karakurt
- LockBit
- Quantum
- Royal
Various combinations of variants were used that cause:-
- Data encryption
- Data exfiltration
- Financial losses
Repeated ransomware attacks on compromised systems pose significant harm to victims. The ransomware groups escalated the use of custom data theft and wiper tools to pressure victims in early 2022.
In 2022, hackers upgraded data theft tools to evade detection, while dormant malware struck at scheduled intervals to corrupt the data.
