A new ransomware-as-a-service called SophosEncrypt is impersonating the well-known cybersecurity vendor, Sophos. The threat actors have cleverly adopted the company’s name to carry out their operation.
Yesterday, the ransomware was discovered by Malware Hunter Team. At first, Sophos believed it was a component of a red team exercise. The encryptor was not created by the Sophos X-Ops team, as confirmed by their recent tweet. They are currently carrying out an investigation into its release.
