Major U.S. insurer CNA confirmed this week that it was the victim of a ransomware attack and that it has taken several steps on the road to recovery. The company, one of the biggest players in cybersecurity insurance specifically, had previously acknowledged an attack, but stopped short of specifying exactly what kind.

Ransomware gangs that target big corporations for extortion have long designed their code to execute on Microsoft Windows systems because of the popularity of the operating software. Now, though, crooks are increasingly applying that tactic to the “hypervisor” computer servers that organizations use to manage virtual machines as a way of maximizing their extortion schemes, security firm CrowdStrike said Friday. Ransomware hackers have targeted hospitals and schools throughout the pandemic, a security challenge that the Biden administration has vowed to address. Alejandro Mayorkas, the newly installed Homeland Security secretary, on Thursday called ransomware attacks on U.S. public and private organizations an “epidemic” while pledging more government resources to fight the problem.
