"ESXi Ransomware Campaign Strikes Florida Supreme Court, Worldwide Universities"

The Florida Supreme Court is the latest high-profile victim of the ransomware campaign aimed at unpatched VMWware ESXi servers. The malicious campaign has also targeted academic institutions. A spokesman for the Florida Supreme Court disclosed that the compromised infrastructure was used to support parts of the Florida state court system. However, they stated that this was separated from the Supreme Court's primary networks, so the state court system's integrity was not jeopardized. The exact extent of the damage caused by the ransomware attacks on academic institutions has yet to be determined. The ESXiArgs ransomware has impacted more than 2,800 organizations. The US Homeland Security Department's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released a server recovery script in response to the ESXiArgs ransomware campaign. This article continues to discuss the recent targeting of the Florida Supreme Court and universities by the ESXiArgs ransomware campaign.
