Healthcare organizations in Europe are being targeted by a never-before seenransomwarestrain called NailaoLocker, experts have warned.
Cybersecurity researchers Orange Cyberdefense revealed the threat actors distributing NailaoLocker are most likely of Chinese origin.
The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2024-24919, and was patched in May 2024.
These, in turn, would drop NailaoLocker and encrypt files on the victim computers.
The locker itself is apparently very basic, almost amateurish.
That has fueled speculation that encryption is not the end goal of these campaigns.
