Keeping Up With Conti
Black Basta and BlackByte Increase Ransomware Attacks Against Europe
Thursday, December 1, 2022
10:00 - 10:45 AM ET | 3:00 - 3:45 PM GMT
In May 2022, Conti leaders shut down operations as a formal entity. Yet affiliate groups, Black Basta and BlackByte, have followed in Conti’s footsteps, carrying out destructive and damaging ransomware attacks against organisations globally.
41% of these victim organisations tracked on Black Basta and BlackByte leak sites are based in Europe, and the other 59% are primarily U.S.-based. Moreover, many of the Europe-based organisations targeted by Black Basta and BlackByte are part of critical infrastructure sectors including energy, transportation, pharmaceuticals, education, government, facilities, and food.
Join this webinar with Keegan Keplinger, Research and Reporting Lead at eSentire, as he walks through:
-
The background and history of the Conti ransomware group, how they have evolved, and the current state of their operations
-
Notable Black Basta and BlackByte ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure sectors, and the subsequent damage to victim organisations
-
Recommendations from TRU on how to protect your organisation from this cyber threat
