"US Offers $10m Reward For MOVEit Attackers"

The US Department of State has recently announced that it is offering a $10m reward for information linking members of a Clop affiliate responsible for a recent data extortion campaign.  The reward was announced after a successful Clop campaign targeting users of the popular MOVEit managed file transfer service.  After exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in the software, the group claimed to have compromised data belonging to hundreds of organizations.  Alongside big brand names like British Airways, Boots, and the BBC, several US government agencies are thought to have been caught in the campaign.  According to the Federal News Network, tens of thousands of US government workers may have had their personal information compromised as a result.  However, the identity of most of the impacted agencies is yet to be made public.
