Ransomware hackers are now targeting Google Chrome credentials in a new twist to the cybercrime landscape. Qilin, a Russia-linked cybercrime group, known for causing chaos at U.K. hospitals in June, has been identified as the perpetrator behind this latest attack.
Qilin, operating a Ransomware-as-a-Service criminal operation since October 2022, has been employing a sophisticated tactic of stealing credentials stored within Google Chrome browsers. This tactic extends the reach of their attacks beyond the original target, adding a new layer of complexity to ransomware situations.
