Microsoft has tied the attacks to Clop, a Russian-speaking ransomware syndicate. The hacks are all the result of Clop exploiting what had been a zero-day vulnerability in MOVEit, a file-transfer service that’s available in both cloud and on-premises offerings.
Of course it’s Russia, why not do something productive and contribute something to society? Or is their economy that bad that they have to resort to crime?
I understand it’s the one field where elite brains actually move there.
If nothing else the fact that stupidity like this keeps happening after a patch has been released tells me that companies continue to starve their IT depts of money and talent.
I’m past the point of thinking CEO’s and investors actually give a shit anymore (if they ever did).
