This week on the Security Box, we’re going to talk about another new ransomware group. Although with the fact that we now have this supposed naming group, who knows what they’ll really be called.
Cyberscoop calls this Dark Bit.
The article is titled New cybercrime group calling itself DarkBit attacks Israeli university and this was a very interesting article.
The very first paragraph states:
A previously unknown cybercrime group attacked an Israeli technical university over the weekend, demanding $1.7 million in bitcoin as payment for what the attackers claim are the Israeli government’s “lies and crimes” ranging from occupation to war crimes to tech layoffs.
So this is how you get back at someone by attacking them?
Another paragraph states
DarkBit launched a Telegram channel on Saturday and claimed responsibility for the attack on the school, calling it “the technological core of an apartheid regime,” and threatening more attacks on entities affiliated with Israel.
Please read more on the article or join us on Wednesday.
