The number of U.S. entities targeted by this ransomware has doubled since December 2021 and the tactics used by attackers have become more sophisticated. The advisory notes that Cuba ransomware actors are gaining access to healthcare and other critical infrastructure systems through known software vulnerabilities, phishing campaigns, compromised credentials, and remote desktop protocol tools. Furthermore, these actors are using "double extortion" techniques in which they encrypt victim data, demand a ransom payment to decrypt it, and threaten to publicly release the data if the ransom is not paid. https://www.cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/alerts/aa22-335a https://healthtechmagazine.net/article/2022/12/cisa-warns-healthcare-organizations-cuba-ransomware-threat Health Unchained Links Website Telegram Twitter Supercast - sign up to access premium content Buy Ledger Hardware Wallet
