Daily Cyber News: SafePay ransomware reaches 600 organizations through familiar gaps
At least 600 organizations across multiple critical infrastructure sectors have been affected by SafePay ransomware since August 2024. The group commonly gets in through exposed credentials, brute-force attempts, V P N access, and known weaknesses in internet-facing edge devices. Once inside, it steals data, encrypts systems, and pressures victims with leak threats and direct phone calls.
Key context: SafePay often relies on legitimate administration, remote-access, and file-transfer tools.
Additional detail: For leaders, the key question is whether recovery systems remain protected after production access is lost.
