Posted on February 8, 2021 by Dissent

Tzvi Joffre reports:

A ransomware cyberattack has targeted the Ness Digital Engineering company which operates in Israel, the US and India, according to cybersecurity consultant Einat Meyron.
The details of the cyberattack remain unclear, but initial reports indicate that the attack may have begun in Israel and then spread to other Ness branches around the world.
[…]
A screenshot of the message displayed as part of the attack reads “Hello ness-digital-engineering! If you (sic) reading this message, it means your network was PENETRATED and all of your files and data has (sic) been ENCRYPTED by RAGNAR LOCKER!” The message instructs the company to contact a live chat provided in the message to resolve the case and “make a deal.”
