An October 25, 2021, alert issued by the FBI stated that over 30 US businesses were compromised by threat actors using the Ranzy Locker ransomware. The victims of these attacks are high-value organizations within the critical areas of manufacturing, academia, IT, and transportation. The most recent victims of this ransomware attack were breached through previously known vulnerabilities within their Microsoft Exchange Server and standard phishing scams. The alert further warns of potential future attacks and highlights the importance of remaining vigilant.
The “brute force” Ranzy Locker ransomware attacks employed a double extortion technique: after locating and exfiltrating personally identifiable information (PII) and other high-value data, a demand for ransom (see image) was made in exchange for the decryption code.
Ranzy Locker is yet another example of ransomware-as-a-service, which offers the tools for such attacks to anyone willing to engage and makes identification of the threat actor extremely difficult.
The amorphous risk landscape of such aggressive ransomware attacks demonstrates the need for all organizations to have systems and partners in place to minimize the likelihood of becoming the next victim of Ranzy Locker or other RaaS strikes.
As threat actors and RaaS providers like Ranzy Locker continue to deploy new and sophisticated tactics, knowledge of the current threat landscape and organizational vulnerabilities is increasingly important.
