InfoSecBulletin Cybersecurity for mankind
CISA, FBI, Europol’s EC3, and NCSC-NL released a joint Cybersecurity Advisory called #StopRansomware: Akira Ransomware. It shares known tactics, techniques, and procedures of Akira ransomware, as well as indicators of compromise from FBI investigations up until February 2024.
Akira threat actors started with Windows systems but shifted to Linux for VMware ESXi virtual machines. They began using Megazord and Akira (written in C++) in August 2023. Akira_v2, which is also Rust-based, was introduced as well. This ransomware has affected many businesses and infrastructure entities in North America, Europe, and Australia, resulting in around $42 million (USD) in ransom payments.
