Another crime gang is now calling victims if they don’t pay

FBI warns that Hive ransomware hackers are calling victims by phone is a very interesting article that we can’t pass up. As I get news notes together, I’ll do my best to find the ones I think should be blogged, so look out for some more blog posts.

According to the article, maze, conti and RYUK were three others that used this tactic if they didn’t get a ransom.

I know a lot of us don’t want to answer our phones, and I had that experience today. I was on a call so let the other one go by. When I checked voice mail, it said to press one to talk to a specialist for warranty coverage or 3 to cancel the coverage. What warranty and what coverage? I don’t have a car, I can’t drive. I wish I could, but it isn’t in my cards.

There’s plenty to read in this article, better on click through if this interests you.
