The findings come after Trend Micro first reported cryptominer deployment as a result of poor security practices.

Security researchers at Trend Micro have identified a new ransomware family that is being delivered as a fake Google Software Update application.

This means that organizations will buy more products from fewer vendors, and big cybersecurity tech kahunas like Check Point, Cisco, Crowdstrike, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Trellix, and Trend Micro understand this.

In a recent attack, researchers with Trend Micro found evidence that pointed to the ransomware group exploiting the PrintNightmare vulnerability (CVE-2021-34527), a remote code execution flaw in the Windows print spooler service that Microsoft issued patches for in July 2021.

This is not the first time that security researchers have sounded a warning on hackers-for-hire. Trend Micro, for instance, reported on the Void Balaur threat in November 2021.
