'Plague' malware exploits Pluggable Authentication Module to breach Linux systems

UK Ransomware Payment Ban Implications

The UK will ban public bodies from paying ransoms and introduce new reporting rules for ransomware incidents. Public sector organisations must prepare to recover without paying. Private firms must notify the government if they plan to pay. Attackers may shift focus to private targets and use data leaks over encryption.

Turning Data Disaster into Strategy: Lessons to Learn from Malware Attacks
