Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 recently released the Ransomware Retrospective blog and Incident Response Report 2024. They studied 3,998 leak site posts from various ransomware groups. Leak sites are platforms where threat groups publicly disclose stolen data as a means of coercing victims into paying ransom. 

Microsoft said Friday it’s still trying to evict the elite Russian government hackers who broke into the email accounts of senior company executives in November and who it said have been trying to breach customer networks with stolen access data.
