Insurance giant CNA has suffered a ransomware attack using a new variant called Phoenix CryptoLocker that is possibly linked to the Evil Corp hacking group. Phoenix Locker is believed to be a new ransomware family released by Evil Corp based on similarities in the code. CNA confirmed that they had suffered a cyber attack last weekend. The attack on CNA could have a tremendous impact on other companies that have cyberinsurance policies through the company. It is not known if the threat actors stole unencrypted files before encrypting CNA’s devices.
