Horsa Has Been Claimed a Victim to Hunters International Ransomware - #HuntersInternational
The cybercriminal group Hunters International has been identified as a significant threat, with its recent development of a remote access trojan named SharpRhino, which specifically targets IT administrators by masquerading as the legitimate network tool Angry IP Scanner. This malware is distributed through typosquatting websites and can establish persistence on infected devices, facilitating further ransomware attacks. The group has been active since late 2023 and is suspected to be a rebranded version of the Hive ransomware group. They have claimed responsibility for numerous attacks, including high-profile breaches at the U.S. Marshals Service, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, AutoCanada, and the Italian IT firm Horsa. These incidents highlight the group's sophisticated techniques and the extensive impact of their operations on various sectors, emphasizing the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures.
