GUEST OPINION: The Australian government has joined international allies and partners in pledging not to pay ransom demands related to cyber-attacks at the Counter Ransomware Initiative (CRI) Summit in San Francisco yesterday.
Three clients of IT services firm Core Desktop appear to be the latest Australian victims of the the Alphv ransomware group.
The newly appointed Australian national cyber security co-ordinator says the Department of Home Affairs and legal firm HWL Ebsworth are working to address the impacts of the ransomware attack on the company.
It is more than somewhat ironical that HWL Ebsworth, the Australian law firm that is reeling after a ransomware attack that led to massive data theft, has a slogan on its website saying, "We're not your typical law firm".
An Australian law firm's bid to try and use a court injunction to prevent publication of material stolen during a ransomware raid is unlikely to have any effect on the attackers behind the intrusion, a security professional says.
