As profits decline, in desperation, even big-name #ransomware groups are resorting to re-extortion (which they previously avoided because it's bad for their reputation) and hitting any/all sectors, leading to a surge in healthcare attacks. h/t @coveware @uuallan @Intel_by_KELA

Ransomware responders say 'amateur' tactics are leading fewer victims to pay, as reliability of decryptors decreases & more crypto-locking malware simply shreds files. Quality is down because more attackers are using leaked code (not RaaS). https://t.co/4TSo8Uw7Ea @euroinfosec
