North Korean Ransomware: Maui

If they attack the HPH (Health and Public health) organizations in USA then it is for sure that they attack the HPH organizations in EU too.

Actions have to be taken against.


CISA (Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency) publishes some warnings and guidelines against this threat in their websites. But what about EU?

"The FBI, CISA, and the U.S. Treasury Department issued today a joint advisory warning of North-Korean-backed threat actors using Maui ransomware in attacks against Healthcare and Public Health (HPH) organizations.


Starting in May 2021, the FBI has responded to and detected multiple Maui ransomware attacks impacting HPH Sector orgs across the U.S.


'North Korean state-sponsored cyber actors used Maui ransomware in these incidents to encrypt servers responsible for healthcare services—including electronic health records services, diagnostics services, imaging services, and intranet services,' the federal agencies revealed."


"Maui also stands out compared to other ransomware strains by not dropping a ransom note on encrypted systems to provide victims with data recovery instructions."
