Lazarus apparently involved in Madusa ransomware

Madusa was talked about when it first broke, and the article indicates that it has been out since 2021.

The fact is, that the hospitality industry has never been prepared for this type of attack, as they lack the people to assist them, let alone the fact that they may not be able to patch software like Windows as an example.

There are several remote access trojans and credential stuffing items that are mentioned in a list within this article that could be used in these latest attacks.

One of the familiar names within this list is Mimikatz , something this podcast talked about in detail.

Some of the names may not be familiar to you, but the article does say what each item is within it.

These actors could in fact find that data, and use it to raise the ransome from $260,000 to that million plus dollar price mentioned within the article.

If this interests you, please read the article on North Korea’s latest tactics: North Korean Lazarus group linked to Medusa ransomware attacks and pass this along to your health care friends.

We’ll be in touch, I’m sure.
