The Week in Ransomware – July 17th 2020 – Freshly squeezed

The biggest news is Orange confirming they were hit with a Nefilim ransomware attack and business customer’s data being stolen. Orange confirmed to BleepingComputer that they suffered a ransomware attack exposing the data of twenty of their enterprise customers. A new and targeted ransomware named AgeLocker utilizes the ‘Age’ encryption tool created by a Google employee to encrypt victim’s files. The data theft and name-and-shame tactics initiated by Maze in November 2019 and subsequently adopted by multiple other groups have blurred the line between ransomware attacks and data breach.
