🔐 New BitLockMove Ransomware: Double Extortion and Advanced Encryption in Windows Attacks A new ransomware called BitLockMove has been identified by security researchers. This threat combines double extortion techniques with a sophisticated encryption mechanism, specifically targeting Windows systems. 🛡️ Main features detected: - Uses AES-256 encryption to lock files and demands ransom in Bitcoin - Implements double extortion mechanisms: threatens to leak data if payment is not made - Employs obfuscation techniques to evade detection by security solutions - Includes self-deletion capabilities to hinder forensic analysis 📊 Identified modus operandi: The ransomware is primarily distributed through phishing campaigns and vulnerability exploitation. Once the system is infected, BitLockMove searches for and encrypts critical files, leaving a ransom note with payment instructions. Attackers threaten to publish sensitive information if payment is not received within a specified time. 💡 Protection recommendations: - Keep systems and software updated with the latest security patches - Implement robust backup solutions disconnected from the main network - Train users to identify phishing emails and similar threats - Use advanced endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools For more information visit: https://enigmasecurity.cl Support our community to continue providing relevant threat analysis.

From ransomware attacks to social media phishing, the digital landscape is fraught with dangers. In our latest article, we delve into the various types of cybercrime, including: • Ransomware: Malicious software that locks your data until a ransom is paid. • Phishing: Deceptive attempts to steal sensitive information through fraudulent communications. • Unauthorized Access: Gaining access to systems without permission, often leading to data breaches. • Exploits: Taking advantage of vulnerabilities in software or hardware to execute malicious actions. Understanding these threats is the first step in safeguarding your digital presence. We also provide practical tips on how to protect yourself and your organization from falling victim to cybercrime. 👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/d6ifFrtd #CyberCrime #DigitalSecurity #Ransomware #Phishing #DataProtection

Know your threats 🔐 Ransomware still leads, but the tide is turning. In 2024, ransomware made up 28% of malware cases, yet overall incidents declined for the third year in a row. Why? ✅ Businesses are less willing to pay ✅ Governments are cracking down ✅ Cyber defenses are improving But attackers aren’t giving up — they’re shifting tactics. 💡 “Breaking in without breaking anything” — exploiting identity gaps in complex hybrid cloud setups using compromised credentials. 🛡️ It’s time to double down on threat detection, identity & access management. https://bit.ly/47FMtax #CyberSecurity #Ransomware #IAM #CloudSecurity #XForceInsights

🚨 They didn’t hack your server — they just logged in. One stolen credential. One overlooked risky login. One ransom demand: $1M. That’s all it took. Most breaches today don’t start with a sophisticated exploit — they start with compromised identities. Attackers don’t break in anymore; they simply sign in. 🔑 The good news? Modern identity security tools can: - Detect risky logins in real time - Correlate signals from across your existing stack - Block attackers before damage is done Don’t wait until after the breach to act. Strengthen identity as the new perimeter. 👉 What identity protection measures do you think organizations overlook most? #Cybersecurity #IdentitySecurity #ZeroTrust #IAM #Ransomware

They don’t hack networks. They hack people. 📧 The email that looks normal. 📎The attachment that looks safe. 🔗The link that looks familiar. That’s all it takes. Lesson: 90% of breaches in Singapore start with phishing. The technology can be world-class, but a single human click can still bring everything down. That’s why the smartest companies train employees to: Hover before you click – check the full URL. Verify unexpected requests – especially for money or credentials. Report, don’t ignore – suspicious emails should never be left alone. Follow CyberSafe for the playbook that keeps businesses safe from the human side of hacking.
