Federal cybersecurity officials are raising red flags over a surge in attacks by the Medusa ransomware group. First detected in June 2021, the group has gained traction recently by using basic but effective methods \u2014 like phishing emails and exploiting outdated software \u2014 to break into systems and hold data hostage.<\/p>\n

In a joint advisory<\/a> released last week, the FBI, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) urged businesses and institutions to take immediate steps to protect their systems. The warning is part of the government\u2019s ongoing #StopRansomware initiative.<\/p>\n
