The United States Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center said at least one health-care entity in the US has been hit by Trinity ransomware.
A United States government agency warned about Trinity ransomware, known for extorting crypto from its victims in exchange for not leaking data accessed via several attack vectors.
On Oct. 4, the US Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center (HC3) published a profile of Trinity ransomware, a threat actor that targets sensitive data. The attackers use phishing emails, malicious websites and software vulnerabilities to trick victims into installing the ransomware on their computers.
It then searches the computer for sensitive information, collects it, and sends it to hackers. The ransomware also encrypts the victim’s files with an algorithm, rendering them useless.
