It’s the age of identity security. The explosion of driven ransomware attacks has made CISOs and security teams realize that identity protection lags 20 years behind their endpoints and networks. This realization is mainly due to the transformation of lateral movement from fine art, found in APT and top cybercrime groups only, to a commodity skill used in almost every ransomware attack. The

Based on a comprehensive review of more than a dozen prominent ransomware groups, we identified several commonalities in TTPs, along with several notable differences and outliers.

The sophisticated malware known as ViperSoftX has been observed being distributed as eBooks over torrents.
