Was wollen wir schützen?
Was haben wir für, regulatorische, Anforderungen?

Lockbit confirmed:

"On 7 May, someone hacked the light panel with auto registration for all comers, stole the database, but not a single decryptor and not a single company's stolen data were compromised. I'm investigating how they managed to hack it and rebuilding it now. 1/2

It reveals the brutal reality of ransomware attacks. They are even attacking #schools: "Dude, we’re #non-profit, educating children,".
Another victim begs: "Dear, $40k is my 6-year salary... Don't spoil my life."

▶️ Inform your organisation about the current situation.

It contains a lure about an updated company handbook and a QR code.

The QR code leads to Cloudflare protected website [02]. It then forwards to a Microsoft Microsoft 365 themed phishing website [03].

The sender is the compromised mail account Nepal pottery [01].

The subject follows a certain pattern:
