US and Australia warn of escalating Avaddon ransomware attacks

The FBI and the Australian Cyber Security Centre are warning of an ongoing Avaddon ransomware campaign. The FBI said in a flash alert last week that Avaddon affiliates are trying to breach the networks of manufacturing, healthcare, and other private sector organizations around the world. The ACSC expanded on the targeting information today, saying that the ransomware gang’s affiliates are targeting entities from a wide range of sectors, including but not limited to government, finance, law enforcement, energy, information technology, and health. No evidence has been found of DDoS attacks following Avaddon attacks.
