Google warns companies: Your top executives may get extortion emails

Alphabet’s Google has warned that hackers are sending extortion emails to executives at several organizations, reports news agency Reuters. The hackers, as per the report, are claiming to have stolen sensitive data from Oracle business applications. In a statement, Google said that the messages are part of an ongoing campaign by a group that has linked itself to the cl0p ransomware gang. While cl0p is known for large-scale cyberattacks, Google said it has not yet confirmed the authenticity of the latest claims.

Google on groups claiming link to cl0p

In a statement, Google said that the emails were directed at “executives at numerous organizations claiming to have stolen sensitive data from their Oracle E-Business Suite.” The attackers are allegedly demanding ransom in exchange for not releasing the information.However, Google stressed that it “does not currently have sufficient evidence to definitively assess the veracity of these claims.” That means it remains unclear whether any actual data has been stolen or whether the messages are an attempt at bluffing organizations into paying.

Google also did not provide additional details about the scope of the attack, including how many organizations were affected or what kind of executives had been targeted.

Ransomware threats rising

The development comes as ransomware groups increasingly focus on high-profile corporate systems. Oracle’s E-Business Suite, used widely by global companies for enterprise resource planning, is considered a critical platform that holds financial and operational data.Cybersecurity experts say extortion attempts have become a regular tactic for groups like cl0p, which often steal or claim to steal data in order to pressure victims into paying. Even when attackers do not possess the information they claim, the threats alone can create financial and reputational risks for targeted organizations.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
