Summary

The document provides a summary of the ransomware attack, its impacts, and mitigations. The ransomware uses double-extortion tactics, threatening to release stolen data if a ransom is not paid. The FBI, CISA, and ASD recommend organizations implement the following mitigations to limit the impact of ransomware:

1. Implement a recovery plan and retain multiple copies of sensitive data.
2. Require strong passwords and multifactor authentication.
3. Keep software and systems up to date, including patching known exploited vulnerabilities.
4. Segment networks to prevent lateral movement.
5. Identify and investigate abnormal network activity.
6. Filter network traffic to prevent unknown origins from accessing internal systems.
7. Install and regularly update antivirus software.
8. Review and audit user accounts with administrative privileges.
9. Implement time-based access for accounts with administrative privileges.

By implementing these mitigations, organizations can reduce the risk of ransomware attacks and limit the impact of a potential attack.
