Dekimo, which operates in the manufacturing sector, has been a victim of the Blackbasta ransomware attack. The company is known for their commitment to customer satisfaction and their expertise in electronic services. Their partnership with Rijkswaterstaat for a project in the North Sea indicates their involvement in large-scale projects.
The vulnerabilities that led to Dekimo being targeted by threat actors are not explicitly stated. However, it is known that ransomware attacks often exploit unpatched systems and weak security practices. It is crucial for companies to maintain strong security hygiene, continuously monitor their attack surface, and implement email security protocols to prevent ransomware attacks.
The Blackbasta ransomware group has been active in the RaaS market, with past operations involving JSWORM, Karma, Nemty, and Nefilim strains. The group has been known to demand high ransom payments, with one victim reportedly paying $1 million.

Recent Ransomware Attacks
The Recent Ransomware Attacks (RRA) site acts as a watchtower, providing you with near real-time ransomware tracking of attacks, groups and their victims. Given threat actors’ overarching, lucrative success so far, ransomware attacks have become the most ubiquitous, and financially and informationally impactful cyber threat to businesses and organizations today.
The site’s data is generated based on hosting choices of real-world threat actors, and a handful of other trackers. While sanitization efforts have been taken, we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy of the data. Attack updates will be made as source data is reported by reputable sources. By viewing, accessing, or using RRA you acknowledge you are doing so at your own risk.
