Amazon Ransomware Attack Locks Data, Recovery Impossible Without Payment

A dangerous ransomware called Codefinger is attacking Amazon Web Services (AWS) users by encrypting their data in S3 buckets. Victims cannot recover their files without paying for a decryption key, making this attack a significant threat to cloud-based systems.
- Codefinger ransomware targets AWS users storing critical data in S3 buckets.
- The attack exploits AWS's server-side encryption with customer-provided keys (SSE-C).
- Uses AES-256 encryption, locking data completely.
- Recovery is impossible without paying the attacker for the decryption key.
- Identified by Halcyon Threat Research, this ransomware shows a new level of sophistication in targeting cloud infrastructure.
- Represents a major risk for businesses relying on AWS for critical operations.
The Codefinger ransomware underscores the growing dangers in cloud environments, especially for organizations using AWS. To protect against such advanced threats, businesses must prioritize regular backups, multi-layered security, and proactive threat detection to reduce risks and ensure data safety.
