The FBI has raised alarms over the rapidly escalating Medusa ransomware, which has targeted numerous sectors, particularly healthcare. Critical industries like education, technology, and manufacturing are also at risk as hundreds of victims have reported attacks. The ransomware operates through a double extortion model, threatening to publish stolen data if ransoms are not paid. Organizations are urged to enhance their security measures, including VPNs, multi-factor authentication, and regular system updates. A comprehensive data recovery plan is essential to mitigate potential damage from such cyber threats.
