Access to Mexico’s Loter..a Nacional and Pron..sticos lottery websites are now blocked to IP addresses outside of Mexico after a ransomware gang threatened to perform denial of service attacks. The Avaddon ransomware operation stated that they successfully conducted an attack on ‘Pronosticos Deportivo,’ where they claim to have stolen data and then encrypted the devices. The gang also threatened to release more documents and to DDoS the victim’s website if negotiations did not begin within 240 hours. BleepingComputer confirmed that these sites are only accessible from IP addresses in Mexico.
