Hunters International ransomware claims attack on Tata Technologies - #HuntersInternational
The Hunters International ransomware group has emerged as a significant cybersecurity threat, targeting various organizations globally. Utilizing a C# remote access trojan called SharpRhino and operating on a ransomware-as-a-service model, they have claimed responsibility for over 200 attacks since late 2023. Their targets have included high-profile entities such as the U.S. Marshals Service, ICBC's London branch, AutoCanada, and Tata Technologies. The group's tactics involve data exfiltration, encryption, and extortion, with some evidence suggesting a connection to the dismantled Hive ransomware operation. Cybersecurity experts emphasize the need for robust defense strategies, including careful scrutiny of downloads, network segmentation, and regular software updates to mitigate the impact of such sophisticated attacks.
