FBI has a ‘hacker’ warning for Gmail, Microsoft Outlook users

The FBI and the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have warned Gmail and Microsoft Outlook users about a dangerous ransomware scheme. Earlier this week, the US government agencies issued a warning regarding Medusa, a ransomware-as-a-service software responsible for attacks since 2021, which has recently impacted hundreds of individuals. CISA reports that Medusa primarily employs phishing campaigns to steal victims’ credentials. Some of the recommendations that the agencies offered to protect against this ransomware include patching operating systems and keeping devices updated, using multi-factor authentication for services like email and VPNs, using strong passwords and avoiding frequent password changes
