This week's big news was the Colombia health system being severely disrupted by a ransomware attack on Keralty, one of the country's largest healthcare providers.
Patients have had to wait upwards of twelve hours to receive care, with reports of people fainting due to the lack of medical attention.
The Keralty attack was conducted by the RansomHouse ransomware operation, which claims to have stolen 3TB of data during the attack.
This week's other news includes an uptick in attacks by the rebranded Trigona Ransomware operation and reports of a new data wiper named CryWiper targeting local government agencies in Russia.
Zscaler also put out an excellent technical analysis of Black Basta, and the FBI disclosed that the Cuba ransomware earned $60 million from over 100 victims.
