Novel Ransomware targeting organisations in Ukraine and Poland
By MYBRANDBOOK
Microsoft has said that a newly discovered hacking group has attacked transportation and logistics companies in Ukraine and Poland with a novel kind of ransomware named ‘Prestige’.
The ransomware encrypts a victims’ data, leaving a ransom note that says the data can only be unlocked with the purchase of a decryption tool. Researchers found that the hacks closely were just like the earlier attacks by a Russian government-linked cyber team that had disrupted Ukraine government agencies.
Across the attacks, three distinct methodologies were used to deploy Prestige. In several cases, the researchers noted that the hackers had gained administrator control of the victims’ systems ahead of deploying the ransomware, suggesting they had stolen their credentials earlier and were waiting for the right moment.
The researchers said, “The enterprise-wide deployment of ransomware is not common in Ukraine, and this activity was not connected to any of the 94 currently active ransomware activity groups that Microsoft tracks.”
