The Qilin group is known for its sophisticated ransomware attacks, often targeting businesses with the potential for significant data exposure. Their tactics usually involve encrypting critical data and demanding a ransom in exchange for decryption keys, threatening to release sensitive data if their demands are not met.
To proactively respond to such threats, organizations should incorporate dark web monitoring into their cybersecurity strategies. This involves regularly scanning for any mention or leak of company data on the dark web. Utilizing tools such as email breach checkers can help companies keep track of potential exposures. We recommend using the domain breach scan at MSP Dark Intel to monitor your company’s online security continuously.
Recommendations
- Monitor your domains and email addresses for exposure using reputable threat intelligence tools.
- Conduct a full compromise assessment and incident response drill internally.
- Verify backups and ensure they are offline and ransomware-resistant.
- Educate staff on phishing, social engineering, and lateral movement techniques used by groups like Qilin.
- Engage with cyber forensics and legal counsel before initiating contact with threat actors.
