Despite a disruption of the Cryptolocker ransomware operation, the Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. brokerage house recently suffered an attack by the CryptoWall.
According to Tweaktown, the incident took place in late May, with the unauthorised third party compromising their computer systems.
Stu Sjouwerman, CEO of KnowBe4, said that the ransomware sends unidentified data out of the victim’s network, meaning that the malware infection needs to be treated as a data breach with accompanying very high costs.
