FBI and CISA to the rescue"},"content":{"rendered":"

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released a recovery script to help companies whose servers were scrambled in the recent ESXiArgs ransomware outbreak.<\/p>\n

The malware attack<\/a> hit thousands of servers over the globe but there’s no need to enrich criminals any more. In addition to the script, CISA and the FBI today published ESXiArgs ransomware virtual machine recovery guidance<\/a> on how to recover systems as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

The software nasty is estimated to be on more than 3,800 servers globally, according to the Feds. However, “the victim count is likely higher due to Internet search engines being a point-in-time scan and devices being taken offline for remediation before a second scan,” Arctic Wolf Labs’ security researchers noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n
