The Week In Ransomware – December 18th 2020 – Targeting Israel

The Week In Ransomware – December 18th 2020 – Targeting Israel

The SolarWinds supply chain attack has dominated this week’s cybersecurity news, but there was still plenty of ransomware news this week.

Over the past month, Israel has been targeted in a series of cyberattacks that are attributed to Iran. This week, the Pay2Key ransomware actors targeted on another Israel company in an attack on Intel’s Habana Labs. This group appears to be focused on causing havoc for Israeli interests rather than generating a ransom payment.

We also saw a threat actor capitalizing on Cyberpunk 2077’s release by distributing ransomware disguised as the game.

Other than that, it has been mostly new variants of existing ransomware released this week.

Contributors and those who provided new ransomware information and stories this week include: @Seifreed@FourOctets@malwareforme@jorntvdw@VK_Intel@malwrhunterteam@BleepinComputer@LawrenceAbrams@DanielGallagher@Ionut_Ilascu@demonslay335@serghei@struppigel@fwosar@PolarToffee@GelosSnake@sh1shk0va@ClearskySec@ProferoSec@OhadMZ@Sophos@thepacketrat@JakubKroustek@siri_urz@BeazleyGroup@darb0ng@Kangxiaopao, and @RakeshKrish12.

In an incredibly challenging year in which ransomware has easily become the biggest cyber threat to impact individuals and organizations alike, the severity of ransomware attacks has continued to escalate.
