The Full Story

Severity: High Mood: Concerning

The Wallstreet ransomware group has celebrated July fourth by locking down the systems of Asisken, a health insurance provider in Ecuador and Colombia. Hospital networks and customer data were the main targets, with investigators currently wondering how much data has vanished. Guarding against these digital thieves apparently requires us to implement robust network security rather than just crossing our fingers. I suppose expecting properly segmented networks is asking far too much of our budgets.
