The Week in Ransomware – January 22nd 2021 – Calm before the storm

Ransomware news is slow this week, with mostly small ransomware variants being released and a small number of attacks reported. This week’s biggest news is threat actors hacking the IObit forums to host malware for an IObit phishing scam that infected numerous people with the DeroHE ransomware. The CHwapi hospital in Belgium is suffering from a cyberattack where threat actors claim to have encrypted 40 servers and 100 TB of data using Windows Bitlocker. The real TeslaCrypt shut down in 2016.
