@USCGSoutheast This is extremely sad. Our thoughts are with the family, friends and co-workers of Vitali. Thank you to the @USCGSoutheast for your persistence.

As profits decline, in desperation, even big-name #ransomware groups are resorting to re-extortion (which they previously avoided because it's bad for their reputation) and hitting any/all sectors, leading to a surge in healthcare attacks.

[Mathew J Schwartz @euroinfosec]

Ransomware responders say 'amateur' tactics are leading fewer victims to pay, as reliability of decryptors decreases & more crypto-locking malware simply shreds files. Quality is down because more attackers are using leaked code (not RaaS).

Just saw a ransomware actor provide a malicious decryptor after they were paid. Don't intentionally run a criminal's code in your environment! @coveware was able to quickly provide a legitimate decryptor with the purchased key.
