Show Notes

Drex covers in-depth look at the ongoing ransomware attack on Kettering Health, attributed to the Interlock gang known for double extortion tactics - stealing data before encrypting systems. The health system demonstrates exemplary crisis communication while maintaining operations and warning patients about related scams. Next, the Scattered Spider cybercriminal group shifts focus to European retail, using social engineering tactics and freelancer networks to target help desks and employees for credential theft. Finally, a massive data scraping incident exposes 1.2 billion Facebook records on dark web marketplaces, including names, emails, birthdays, and phone numbers. Essential updates for healthcare security professionals navigating today's threat landscape.
