In today’s world, cyber attacks are like a game of never-ending whack-a-mole. Just when one is dealt with, another pops up. This has been the ongoing struggle for a company named Clatronic International. This business, known for its electrical appliances, has once again found itself at the mercy of cybercriminals. They were first targeted by a group called Blacksuit in late August 2024 and now they’re in the spotlight again due to a new ransomware attack.

The latest news hitting the internet is that Clatronic International has appeared on the victim list of something called the Fog ransomware. Reported in mid-September 2024, the attackers claim they’ve taken 469 gigabytes of the company’s data. Exactly what kind of data they’ve grabbed is still a mystery – like the contents of a locked treasure chest that nobody wants to open. Talks about whether this heist is connected to the last one or if it’s a whole new headache are still up in the air. So far, Clatronic hasn’t said a peep about this situation.

So, what’s this Fog ransomware? It’s basically a nasty computer virus that locks up files and asks for money to unlock them. Some smart folks at Arctic Wolf, a cybersecurity team, discovered it and shared that this particular ransomware uses clever ways to sneak into companies’ systems. It can, for example, slither through weak spots in remote access systems and then turn off security features like Windows Defender, leaving the system as open as an unattended cookie jar.
