This week we saw two massive attacks that had a signifcant impact on the food supply industry, as well as a demonstration of Egregor’s annoying ransom note print bombs. TrickBot gang has started spamming out a new lightweight reconnaissance tool called LightBot to collect information about a victim’s network before potentially deploying ransomware. Cold storage warehouse operator Americold was also hit with a ransomware attack this weekend that caused significant food distribution problems for numerous supermarkets who utilize them in the USA. One food distribution logistics operator said this attack came at the worst time as they gear up for Thanksgiving.
