Global infrastructure operators are reeling from a wave of high-profile ransomware incidents. Belarusian cloud provider ActiveCloud suffered a multi-day service disruption after attackers encrypted virtual machine infrastructure, echoing destructive attacks earlier this month against Russian hosting firms Beget and ESTT. Meanwhile, global shipping giant Maersk confirmed that the WhiteArmor ransomware group breached a local OCF/LF Logistics platform. While Maersk stated that network segmentation prevented any disruption to core maritime shipping operations, the attackers claim to have exfiltrated 100GB of driver and staff records and are demanding a $5 million Bitcoin ransom.
