"BianLian Ransomware Group Shifts Focus to US, European Healthcare and Manufacturing Industries"
A new report released by Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 delves into how the BianLian ransomware group operates as it evolves to focus primarily on the healthcare and manufacturing sectors, as well as the US and Europe. BianLian first appeared around 2021 and gained widespread attention in 2022 when it hit companies in the US, UK, and Australia with ransomware attacks. The group now only steals data and threatens to publish it if victims refuse to pay. By removing the encryption stage, BianLian reduces the complexity of its attacks while maintaining control over victims through the threat of exposing data. This article continues to discuss new observations and findings regarding the BianLian ransomware group.
