More than two-dozen US organizations were attacked in recent days by a known threat group looking to deploy a dangerous new strain of ransomware called WastedLocker. The attacks could have resulted in millions of dollars in damages to the organizations and potentially had a major impact on supply chains in the US, Symantec said in a report Thursday. At least 31 of the companies were targeted, suggesting the actual scope of the attacks is much higher. The attackers are using a JavaScript-based malware called SocGholish to gain an initial foothold on victim networks.”]
