Sopra Steria confirms it was hit by new strain of Ryuk ransomware, will take weeks to return to normal operations

Sopra Steria confirms it fell victim to a ‘new version’ of the notorious Ryuk Ransomware. The European IT services group has shared more details of the cyber attack which hit its offices last week. It has since shared samples of the ransomware with anti-virus vendors and computer-fighting agencies. No word on what ransom has been demanded by the attackers, although in the past the hackers behind the Ryuk ransomware have demanded millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency. The attack occurred in tandem with reports that Ryuk was exploiting the Zerologon privilege escalation vulnerability.”]
