"Ransomware Attacks Exploit VMware ESXi Vulnerabilities in Alarming Pattern"

Ransomware attacks on VMware ESXi infrastructure follow a pattern regardless of the malware used. According to researchers at Sygnia, virtualization platforms are essential to organizational Information Technology (IT) infrastructure but often have misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, making them lucrative and effective targets for threat actors. In Sygnia's incident response efforts involving LockBit, HelloKitty, BlackMatter, RedAlert (N13V), Scattered Spider, Akira, Cactus, BlackCat, and Cheerscrypt, the company found that attacks on virtualization environments follow a similar sequence of actions. This article continues to discuss the pattern in which ransomware attacks exploit VMware ESXi vulnerabilities.
