US Federal Bureau of Investigation says it is working to bring the threat actors to justice.
The United States FBI issued a short statement on Wednesday pinning the recent JBS ransomware incident on REvil. „As the lead federal investigative agency fighting cyber threats, combating cybercrime is one of the FBI’s highest priorities. We have attributed the JBS attack to REvil and Sodinokibi and are working diligently to bring the threat actors to justice,“ the agency said. „We continue to focus our efforts on imposing risk and consequences and holding the responsible cyber actors accountable. Our private sector partnerships are essential to responding quickly when a cyber intrusion occurs and providing support to victims affected by our cyber adversaries. „A cyber attack on one is an attack on us all. We encourage any entity that is the victim of a cyber attack to immediately notify the FBI through one of our 56 field offices.“ REvil has previously hit Acer, Travelex, and UnitingCare Queensland. Speaking to Australian Senate Estimates on Wednesday, director-general of the Australian Signals Directorate Rachel Noble said the agency has not used its offensive cyber capabilities against the ransomware crew, which at this time is believed to be Russian-based, but JBS has a private incident response provider.
