Among the thousands of ESXiArgs ransomware victim orgs? FBI and CISA to the rescue
The software nasty is estimated to be on more than 3,800 servers globally, according to the Feds.
Last Friday, France and Italy's cybersecurity agencies sounded the alarm on the ransomware campaign that exploits CVE-2021-21974 – a 9.1/10 rated bugThe bad news: the ransomware infects ESXi, VMware's bare metal hypervisor, which is a potential goldmine for attackers. Once they've compromised ESXi, they could move onto guest machines that run critical apps and data.
The good news is that it's not a very sophisticated piece of malware. Sometimes the encryption and data exfiltration doesn't work, and shortly after government agencies sounded the alarm, security researchers released their own decryption tool. Now CISA's added its recovery tool to the pool of fixes.
