The FBI, CISA, and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) are raising the alarm on a ransomware gang’s increased targeting of the education sector.
In a joint advisory this week, the three agencies warn that a threat actor tracked as ‘Vice Society’ has been “disproportionately targeting the education sector with ransomware attacks”.
Ransomware attacks targeting the education sector, especially K-12, are not uncommon, and the US government agencies expect an increase in attacks as the 2022/2023 school year begins.
