Budworm espionage activity, Spyder Loader malware, and Ransom Cartel links to Sodinokibi
On this week’s Cyber Security Brief, Brigid O Gorman and Dick O’Brien are joined by Symantec threat researcher Kevin Sovey to discuss a blog we recently published about the Budworm espionage group targeting organizations in the U.S. We also discuss another blog we published this week about the Spyder Loader malware being deployed on the machines of government agencies in Hong Kong. We also talk about apparent links between the operators behind Ransom Cartel and the REvil/Sodinokibi ransomware family.
