The FBI issued a flash alert warning organizations about Cuba ransomware actors, who have compromised at least 49 entities across five critical infrastructure sectors, including healthcare. The FBI advises that the FBI advises against paying ransoms since it does not guarantee that any files will be recovered. Organizations should require multi-factor authentication, keep all operating systems up to date, remove unnecessary access to administrative shares, and use a host-based firewall. It is also crucial that organizations maintain offline data backups, ensure that all backup data is properly encrypted, and disable command line and scripting activities and permissions.
