Ransomware gang plans to call victim s business partners about attacks

The REvil ransomware operation announced this week that they are using DDoS attacks and voice calls to journalists and victim s business partners to generate ransom payments.
The REvil ransomware operation, also known as Sodinokibi, is a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) where the ransomware operators develop the malware and payment site, and affiliates (adverts) compromise corporate networks to deploy the ransomware.
As part of this deal, the REvil developers earn between 20-30% of ransom payments, and the affiliates make the remaining 70-80%.
To pressure victims into paying a ransom, ransomware gangs have increasingly turned to a double-extortion tactic, where attackers steal unencrypted files that they threaten to release if a ransom is not paid.

Through its Whole Person Care (WPC) program, Riverside County, Calif., is using data analytics to help keep probationers off the streets and out of the emergency room.
When prisoners are released from incarceration, they visit with a probation officer and a nurse, who screen them for substance abuse, physical and behavioral health as well as social services and housing needs. The nurse then makes referrals based on those needs, and the county tracks how well those interventions work at keeping probationers healthy and sheltered. The program, led by the Riverside University Health System (RUHS), has screened almost 12,000 people since it started in October 2017.
