Colonial Pipeline , the largest fuel pipeline in the US , was hit by a ransomware attack on May 7 . The company was knocked offline by the activities of a cybercriminal gang with the result that the US Government issued emergency legislation to relax rules on fuel being transported by road .
Colonial engaged third-party cybersecurity experts and launched an investigation into the nature and scope of the attack thought to have been carried out by the DarkSide group .
Kaspersky researchers have discovered a new banking malware , named Bizarro . Bizarro is a banking Trojan family originating in Brazil , that is now also in other countries . Bizarro is using affiliates or recruiting money mules to operationalise its attacks , doing the cash out or simply helping with translations . At the same time , cybercriminals behind this malware family are adopting various technical methods to complicate malware analysis and detection , as well as social engineering tricks that help convince targets to give out their banking credentials .
