Hackers compromised VMware ESXi hypervisors with a global ransomware attack. VMware admits the attack isn't zero day but a known threat for at least two years.
The global assault on vulnerable VMware hypervisors may have been mitigated by updating to the latest version of the product, but patch management is only part of the story.
Presuming the DNV ransomware attack was successful, it is only a matter of time before the stolen data appears on marketplaces, according to security experts.
