I write a lot of bad news stories here, it is the nature of a cyber security news site – that’s why we have Because It’s Friday – but here is a good news story when the threat actors get it wrong:
The ransomware malware (for a change) had a vulnerability (that was not patched!) which enabled researchers to create decryptor tool – but only for the Linux version, Windows users will still be victims.
And CISA strikes back
The US government Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released a script to (probably) recover virtual machines hit by the ESXiArgs ransomware – again this works because the threat actors left a vulnerability in their code!

I am on the road and away from the office, so the news this week is “in brief”. You can still contact me via the contact page and Octagon Technology.
