The BlackMatter ransomware gang has recently carried out successful attacks against two new high-value targets: New Cooperative and Marketron.

The Missouri Delta Medical Center has confirmed that they suffered a ransomware attack last week, and the Hive cybercrime group is claiming responsibility. While the infection vector has not yet been disclosed, Hive has successfully used malicious emails in the past for incursion purposes.

AV-Test declared Acronis Cyber Protect a clear leader in endpoint protection for MSPs in a recent comparative test. The report analyzed Acronis Cyber Protect 15, Fortinet (Forticlient 7), N-able (Managed Antivirus 6.6) and Webroot (SecureAnywhere Business 9) on Windows 10 Professional.

Cobalt Strike, a legitimate tool used by security researchers for penetration testing, has been found in the wild supporting Linux-based attacks.

This summer, Acronis commissioned AV-TEST — the renowned independent evaluator of antivirus and security solutions — to conduct a private comparison of popular endpoint security solutions that primarily focus on the MSP market. The results showed that Acronis remains a top-tier choice for service providers, with unparalleled threat detection/prevention capabilities and a minimal false-positive rate.
