Australian Ransowmare Update - 8th October 2024

Welcome to the October 8th edition of the Australian Ransomware update, brought to you by Cyberwise. This week we saw a reduction in activity, but still two attacks, both against aged care providers, one being a not for profit organisation.

These attacks were conducted by ThreeAM and also, of course, Lockbit, with the latter evidencing several key pieces of information, including personal identifiable information, as part of their 65GB of extracted or future published data.

Both of these attacks have significant impact on already vulnerable Australians, with custodians of the data failing to protect it adequately.

For those of you not aware, October is cyber awareness month, and is something we need to be working hard at every day to ensure we can arrest this Ransomware trend.
