Another new ransomware gang is making waves with an unconventional structure, its unique pedigree and an early victim. A coalition of researchers on Thursday explained what makes Groove, a gang that quietly emerged in July with a website, different: Namely, it eschews the traditional ransomware-as-a-service hierarchy in favor of an opportunistic pledge that they’ll work with anyone as long as there’s money to be made. The researchers — from McAfee, Intel 471 and Coveware — traced the group’s origins to a likely split with the Babuk gang, part of a trend of turmoil within extortion groups that use the ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) model where affiliates get to use an outfit’s malware in exchange for sharing profits. For instance, a disgruntled former Conti affiliate recently leaked the group’s attack playbook. Already, there’s evidence the researchers uncovered that Groove has worked with another ransomware gang, BlackMatter, that likewise recently emerged. That group is […]

McAfee security researchers on Tuesday said they had found multiple vulnerabilities in infusion pump software that, under certain conditions, a skilled hacker could use to alter a patient’s medication dose to a potentially unsafe level. The vulnerabilities are in equipment made by multinational vendor B. Braun that are used in pediatric and adult health care facilities in the United States. While there are no reports of malicious exploitation of the flaws, the research illustrates the challenge of securing devices conceived decades ago from 21st-century digital threats. The findings come as the health care sector reckons with a series of ransomware attacks that hit aging hospital computer networks during the pandemic. Medical devices “remain vulnerable to legacy issues that have persisted for many years and have exceptionally slow update or upgrade cycles,” said Steve Povolny, who heads the Advanced Threat Research team at McAfee. In a statement, B. Braun said the […]
