[chbot] International shipping cyber-attack

[Tokala]

Lockbit, like a lot of other ransomware groups also copies the data before encrypting it. This is an extra lever to get you to pay. If you don't pay they start to leak parts your data.

With a target like UK Mail, this could be the names, addresses, phone numbers and login details of millions of people. That is a very valuable thing.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
I don't believe it would only affect the printers as most systems interconnect. Usually the ransomware payload is delivered by email so it would initially hit desktops and spiders from there.

I have of course just had two packages shipped from the UK, and they appear to be stuck somewhere. An attack was launched on the Royal Mail, specifically targeting shipping label-printers. This is cunning. -Mark _______________________________________________ Chchrobotics mailing list Chchrobotics at lists.ourshack.com https://lists.ourshack.com/mailman/listinfo/chchrobotics Mail Archives: http://lists.ourshack.com/pipermail/chchrobotics/ Meetings usually 3rd Monday each month.
