The US government has issued an alert about Cuba; not the state but a ransomware gang that’s taking millions in purloined profits.<\/p>\n

The Cuba gang has hit more than 100 organizations worldwide, demanding over $145 million in payments and successfully extorting at least $60 million since August, according to a joint FBI and US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) advisory.<\/p>\n

According to the security alert<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The FBI first warned<\/a> about the cybercrime gang in December 2021, and since then, the victim count in the US alone has doubled. In that the same time, the ransom payments received also jumped.<\/p>\n

Private security researchers have identified possible links between Cuba ransomware criminals and their RomCom<\/a> remote access trojan (RAT) and Industrial Spy ransomware counterparts.<\/p>\n
