Switzerland’s Reporting and Analysis Centre for Information Assurance (MELANI) today warned of ongoing ransomware attacks targeting the systems of Swiss small, medium-sized, and large companies. The Swiss Government-funded cybersecurity body advises businesses not to pay ransoms to avoid becoming involuntary sponsors for the hackers’ ongoing campaigns. MELANI said that there are examples of companies from Switzerland and other countries that were ransomed multiple times within short periods of time. The attackers still have full access to the affected company’s network and can, for example, reinstall ransomware or steal sensitive data.
