The FBI recently issued a public alert on the rising threat of ransomware groups related to multiple intrusions against single targets. Over the past year, multiple ransomware groups have targeted and breached the same companies, leading to victims facing multiple extortion attempts in a short span. It’s suspected that these groups obtained stolen credentials from Initial Access Brokers or other sources. Competition among ransomware groups and financial incentives may be driving this trend, with aggressive groups targeting victims capable of paying ransoms.
