Ransomware Gangs Exploiting Windows Print Spooler Vulnerabilities

Ransomware operators are actively exploiting vulnerabilities in Windows Print Spooler, Cisco Talos says. Magniber and Vice Society are using the vulnerability to compromise victims and spread laterally across a victim’s network to deploy file-encrypting payloads on targeted systems. The attacks are said to have taken place since at least July 13 in South Korea. The attackers are believed to have used a malicious library associated with the PrintNightmare flaw to pivot to multiple systems across the environment and extract credentials from the victim.
