Below some tips on how to prevent ransomware attacks provided by Cyble:
Recently the FBI has issued a security alert about Netwalker ransomware attacks targeting U.S. and foreign government organizations.
The feds are recommending victims, not to pay the ransom and reporting incidents to their local FBI field offices.
The flash alert also includes indicators of compromise for the Netwalker ransomware along with mitigations.
The FBI warns of a new wave of Netwalker ransomware attacks that began in June, the list of victims includes the UCSF School of Medicine and the Australian logistics giant Toll Group.
The Netwalker ransomware operators have been very active since March and also took advantage of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak to target organizations.
The threat actors initially leveraged phishing emails delivering a Visual Basic Scripting (VBS) loader, but since April 2020, Netwalker ransomware operators began exploiting vulnerable Virtual Private Network (VPN) appliances, user interface components in web apps, or weak passwords of Remote Desktop Protocol connections to gain access to their victims’ networks.
Recently the Netwalker ransomware operators were looking for new collaborators that can provide them with access to large enterprise networks.
