What is Codefinger?

Most people, including cybersecurity professionals, think of ransomware as a piece of malicious software with the capability to encrypt files stored on a computer, server, or network. In many cases, a malicious piece of code embedded in a file is executed, causing mass encryption, propagation, and denial of access to the end user. 

The newly discovered Codefinger threat is not based on malicious code but instead utilizes ransomware tactics to lock down an organization’s data stored in Amazon S3. Get your copy of the paper for a breakdown of the Codefinger attack methodology.
