Microsoft: Notorious FIN7 hackers return in Clop ransomware attacks

Sergiu Gatlan reports:

A financially motivated cybercriminal group known as FIN7 resurfaced last month, with Microsoft threat analysts linking it to attacks where the end goal was the deployment of Clop ransomware payloads on victims’ networks.

“Financially motivated cybercriminal group Sangria Tempest (ELBRUS, FIN7) has come out of a long period of inactivity,” the company said in a series of tweets from the Microsoft Security Intelligence Twitter account.
