The Week in Ransomware – October 30th 2020 – Hospitals under siege

This week we have seen a concerted attack against the healthcare industry by hacking groups utilizing the Ryuk ransomware. Six hospitals have been targeted in attacks, including Wyckoff Hospital, University of Vermont Health Systems, Sky Lakes Medical Center, and St. Lawrence Health System. We also learned of ransomware attacks against well-known companies, such as furniture manufacturer SteelCase, French IT consulting firm Sopra Steria, and the Italian power company Enel Group. An REvil representative known as UNKN stated that they earned $100 million in a year, and an infamous Maze gang has started to shut down its ransomware operation.
