In der #Schweiz hat es das erste #Gerichtsurteil zu den Pflichten des Arbeitgebers bei einem #Cyberangriff gegeben. Nachdem der Pharma-Konzern "Siegfried" 2021 von einem #Ransomware-Vorfall betroffen war, stellte sich die Frage, ob die Mitarbeiter die infolge des IT-Ausfalls nicht geleistete Arbeitszeit nachholen müssen.

Dagegen klagte nun ein betroffener #Arbeitnehmer und bekam vor einem Schweizer Obergericht Recht: Cyberangriffe sind #Betriebsrisiken des Arbeitgebers.

M&S head Archie Norman won’t say if he authorized #DragonForce #ransomware hacker payday.

British shopping titan M&S is still dealing with the mess caused by April’s #ransomware attack. There’s at least three months more work ahead says the firm’s chairman, Archie Norman (pictured).

But there are persistent rumors M&S paid #ScatteredSpider’s ransom demand. In #SBBlogwatch, Norman will neither confirm nor deny.

⚠️ IT company Ingram Micro says ransomware targeted internal systems

｢ The company reported $48 billion in sales over the last fiscal year through its position as a connector between organizations and technology manufacturers that provide hardware, software and cloud services. Ingram Micro has more than 50 offices across the Americas, Europe, Asia and the Middle East ｣

Ingram Micro have filed an 8-K for ransomware.

Some incredible wordsmithing here - rather than say when the incident began, they say when they issued a press release. Which was days later than when the incident began. I think this is because they missed SEC reporting deadlines.

2 and a bit days in and Ingram Micro still haven’t admitted what is happening, instead saying “Maintenance”

They’re both a large MSP and MSSP who sell anti-ransomware services.

Espionage 🤝 Cybercrime :: TA829 🤝 UNK_GreenSec

Our extensive visibility into the threat landscape has led us to conclude that there is very likely a link between TA829 (a cybercriminal actor also conducting #espionage in line with Russian state interests) & UNK_GreenSec (a #cybercriminal cluster observed deploying #malware and #ransomware).

See our research blog for a technical analysis of the intriguing overlap between the threat actor clusters. https://brnw.ch/21wTN3n

🐨 Australian ransomware victims now must tell the government if they pay up

“The Australian Institute of Criminology indicates that only one in five victims of a ransomware attack report the attack. As a result, government lacks visibility of the economic and social impact of ransomware in Australia.”
