In recent days, Valencia Ransomware has posted on its dark web leak site links to gigabytes of downloadable information stolen from various compromised organizations worldwide, including a California municipality and pharmaceutical firms.
Valencia describes the compromised organisations on their leak webpage by stating, 'Here is a list of companies that don't care about customer privacy,' highlighting the company's tactic of shaming those who did not comply with ransom demands.
The Valencia group appears to exploit critical vulnerabilities in WhatsUp Gold networking software, which were discovered and disclosed months prior, leading to evidence of active exploitation by cybercriminals shortly after.
Companies that opt not to pay ransoms are at risk, as paying may incentivize further attacks. This dilemma reflects the increasing threat posed by ransomware operations like Valencia.
