The Security Box, podcast 141: Dark Bit, a new threat that starts with a grudge

Hello folks,

Welcome to the Security box for this week. Today, we’re going to talk about a new Ransomware group tht is out there called Dark Bit.

It was put up on RSS Wednesday, but I meant to get the blog updated the same evening but failed miserably.

Did you not pick it up on RSS? No problem! Here is the 207mb file.

Now, without any further ado, here are the show notes which includes the links to the various things we’re talking about.

Thanks so much for listening and enjoy the show! Note, some strong language.

Welcome to the Security box, podcast 141. On this podcast, Cyberscoop is along to help us diagnose yet another ransomware group. They actually start by attacking Israeli schools, but will it stop there?

Besides that, we’ll have the news, notes from around the landscape, possibly some morons, and of course your thoughts.

Our topic today comes from this Cyberscoop article titled New cybercrime group calling itself DarkBit attacks Israeli university which we sent to the list in mind February.

While we’ve not seen anything else on this, it isn’t for us to keep our mind down as they could attack anything they want.

We hope to see you on the show, thanks so much for listening!
