readability=\"42\">\n<div readability=\"29\">\n<p>Recently the ALPHV\/BlackCat ransomware gang has taken a different tact from the traditional mutli-extortion model.&nbsp; In the past, ransomware gangs would contact customers of a victim and let them know their victim has information about them and if they don\u2019t want that public, they should influence the victim to pay their ransom amount.&nbsp; ALPHV filed a complaint with the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) stating their victim (MeridianLink) had not disclosed a breach within the 4 day requirement from the SEC.&nbsp; It appears this is an attempt to influence MeridianLink to pay the ransom sooner than later.&nbsp; This is an interesting spin on the traditional tactic used and one that could become more pronounced in 2024.&nbsp; The 4 day disclosure requirement doesn\u2019t go into effect until December 15, 2023, but still it could be an incentive to businesses who are victims of ransomware attacks, or a data exfiltration attack, to communicate more quickly with their attackers.&nbsp; I would predict that this may spur businesses to adhere to the SEC disclosure requirement more often than not.&nbsp; The interesting piece with that disclosure rule is that the organization needs to determine whether the event is material to their business.&nbsp; This could delay their need to disclose, which if the adversary decides to use the SEC complaint filing tactic, could put the business in a bind.<\/p>\n<p>While we do not recommend victims paying an extortion fee, as our research has shown that every payment can provide revenues that can be used to launch 6-11 new attacks against new victims, every business will need to make a decision on their own whether they pay or not.&nbsp; Some suggestions to minimize the risks associated with an attack:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Ensure you have a well-designed incident response plan and that you regularly test it.<\/li>\n<li>Decide now whether you will pay an extortion fee (you may discuss with a cyber insurance firm on this too).&nbsp; As part of the incident response plan, have a designated negotiator to interface with the adversary.<\/li>\n<li>If you are a public company, review the new SEC rulings around this in order to make sure you follow the rules properly.&nbsp; Also, decide now what would constitute a material event so you don\u2019t have to figure it out during an incident.<\/li>\n<li>Do an audit with your security vendors to ensure you\u2019re using their solutions properly and with best practices in place.<\/li>\n<li>Investigate using one of the new cybersecurity platforms that incorporates Attacks Surface Risk Management and XDR that can improve your visibility and speed with which you defend against attacks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This new tactic used by ALPHV\/BlackCat may be something that will become more commonplace by our adversaries, but with proper preparation a business can be ready to defend itself against these.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<section class=\"tag--list\">\n<p>Tags<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p> <\/main> <\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- \/* Core
