Pulse Secure VPN Servers Targeted by REvil (Sodinokibi) Ransomware
Pulse Secure VPN servers are being targeted by cybercriminals who use the REvil (Sodinokibi) ransomware to extort large organizations.
According to ZDNet, UK security researcher Kevin Beaumont is urging organizations that use Pulse Secure VPN to patch now or face huge ransomware attacks by criminals who can easily use the Shodan.io IoT search engine to identify vulnerable VPN servers. The REvil (Sodinokibi) ransomware was used in an attack last month on NASDAQ-listed US data-center provider CyrusOne and against several managed service providers (MSP), 20 Texas local governments, and over 400 dentist offices, says ZDNet.
