"FBI, CISA Warn of Rising AvosLocker Ransomware Attacks Against Critical Infrastructure"

According to a new advisory issued by the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI, the AvosLocker ransomware gang has been linked to attacks targeting critical infrastructure sectors in the US. The joint advisory details the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) involved in the Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operation. The agencies said AvosLocker affiliates infiltrate organizations' networks using legitimate software and open-source remote system administration tools. The affiliates then use exfiltration-based data extortion tactics with threats to leak or publish stolen data. The ransomware strain emerged in 2021, and has since applied sophisticated techniques to disable antivirus protection to evade detection. It impacts Windows, Linux, and VMware ESXi environments. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the AvosLocker ransomware gang.
