CERT-In issues advisory for companies against new ransomware

The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued an alert about the danger from a new ransomware that threatens to invade the systems of various organisations. Named Egregor, the malware could compromise the sensitive data of the organisations. According to the alert issued by the CERT-In, the ransomware could break into the IT systems of the organisations and steal sensitive and personal data of the organisations. The body also said that the ransomware might also blackmail the compromised entities by issuing threats to release the sensitive data in public if the demanded ransom is not paid in time.
