Happy Friday everyone! You know what that means... it’s time for our Weekly Threat Roundup—a carefully selected compilation of must-read articles on the newest threats in the cyber world. Each week, we dive into the most pressing #cybersecurity news to bring you the insights you need to stay informed. This week, we highlight the continued exploitation of a critical vulnerability in #VMware ESXi by the BlackByte #ransomware group. Despite warnings and patch orders, cybercriminals continue to leverage the authentication bypass flaw discovered in July that allows attackers to gain full administrative access to VMware #ESXi servers and encrypt hosted virtual machines. Researchers uncovered that BlackByte, believed to be linked to the infamous Conti gang, has quickly adapted this vulnerability for their ransomware operations. The group uses valid credentials or brute-force authentication to access VPNs, escalate privileges, and take control of victim environments, often targeting manufacturers. 💡 Want to stay informed on evolving threats like these?

Happy Friday everyone! It’s time again for our Weekly Threat Roundup—a carefully selected compilation of must-read articles on the newest threats in the cyber world. Each week, we dive into the most pressing #cybersecurity news to bring you the insights you need to stay informed. This week, we focus on the emergence of a new ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation called Cicada3301, which has quickly attacked organizations worldwide, targeting #VMware ESXi environments. The gang, leveraging techniques similar to ALPHV/BlackCat, uses Rust-based encryptors for both Windows and #Linux/ESXi servers, adding to the growing trend of #ransomware groups focusing on virtual machines. By shutting down virtual machines and wiping snapshots before encryption, the attackers maximize damage, making recovery difficult and placing intense pressure on victims. This operation has already claimed 19 victims and shows signs of collaboration with the Brutus botnet, previously associated with global-scale VPN brute-forcing activities targeting major network #security appliances. Organizations should be on high alert, especially those with #ESXi servers, as the strategic focus on these environments poses a critical risk to enterprise infrastructure. 💡 Want to stay informed on evolving threats like these?
