LOS ANGELES: The FBI and the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency are warning against a dangerous ransomware scheme.
In an advisory posted earlier this week, government officials warned that a ransomware-as-a-service software called Medusa, which has launched ransomware attacks since 2021, has recently affected hundreds of people. Medusa uses phishing campaigns as its main method for stealing victims' credentials, according to CISA.
