Federal agencies warn of an “imminent” increase in ransomware and other cyberattacks against hospitals and healthcare providers. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency: “Malicious cyber actors are targeting the [Healthcare and Public Health] sector with TrickBot malware” TrickBot’s new Anchor backdoor framework has been recently ported to Linux to target more high-profile victims. The agency also recommends not paying ransoms, adding it may encourage bad actors to target additional organizations. A separate report by FireEye calls out a financially-motivated threat group it calls “UNC1878” for deploying Ryuk ransomware.
