The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) recently issued a joint alert with the Department of Homeland Security/Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency (CISA) that “Mamba ransomware has been deployed against local governments, public transportation agencies, legal services, technology services, industrial, commercial, manufacturing, and construction businesses.”
According to the Alert, the hacking group behind the Mamba ransomware attacks is weaponizing an open source tool used for disc encryption—DiskCryptor—to encrypt entire operating systems of victims. Once the operating system has been encrypted, a ransom note appears and demands payment for the decryption key.
