Operators of Black Kingdom ransomware are targeting enterprises with unpatched Pulse Secure VPN software or initial access on the network. The malware got caught in a honeypot, allowing researchers to analyze and document the tactics used by the threat actors. They re exploiting CVE-2019-11510, a critical vulnerability affecting earlier versions of the VPN that was patched in April 2019.
