An ongoing campaign using the BitPaymer ransomware has targeted at least 15 U.S. organizations in the last three months across the financial, agricultural, technology and government sectors, researchers said Thursday. In an operation marked by meticulous planning, the hackers are phishing their targets with emails laced with the Dridex malware, another one of their staple tools, according to Israeli cybersecurity company Morphisec.

In a blog post published Monday, Morphisec warned of the vulnerability of POS networks to groups like FIN8. “Many POS networks are running on the POS version of Window 7, making them more susceptible to vulnerabilities,” wrote Morphisec CTO Michael Gorelik. “The techniques implemented can easily evade standard POS defenses.” The research did not identify the hotel by name or specificy its location, […]
