FBI warns of cyberattacks using AvosLocker ransomware.
The FBI and US Treasury are advising organizations to beware of a specific strain of ransomware aimed at critical infrastructure sectors in the United States.
Published last Thursday, a joint cybersecurity advisory issued by the two agencies warns of a Ransomware as a Service affiliate-based group known as AvosLocker.
AvosLocker ransomware attacks exhibit specific indicators of compromise as a clue that an organization has been infected.
"The AvosLocker ransomware is a pretty standard variation of the well-worn recipe for ransomware package - find files of interest, exfiltrate them, encrypt the ones in the target environment, drop a ransom note, etc."
