Brazil’s Superior Court of Justice was hit by a ransomware attack on Tuesday during judgment sessions that were taking place over video conference. The systems of the Superior Tribunal de Justi..a (aka STJ) were shut down to stop the spread throughout the court’s network but not before all case files and backups were encrypted. RansomExx is a rebranded Defray777 ransomware version that became a lot more active during June 2020 and known for attacking high-profile organizations. The Texas Department of Transportation, Konica Minolta, IPG Photonics, and Tyler Technologies are among the gang’s previous victims.
