Ransomware Attack on 2Easy: A Media & Internet Company
The Brazilian media and internet company 2Easy has been targeted by the ransomware group Lockbit2, as reported on their dark web leak site. The company operates in the Media & Internet sector and has a website at http://2easy.com.br. While the size of the company and its specific vulnerabilities are not explicitly mentioned in the search results, it is known that ransomware attackers often exploit software vulnerabilities, brute-force credential attacks, social engineering, previously compromised credentials, and abuse of trust opportunities to gain access to systems.
In recent years, ransomware attackers have increasingly leveraged zero-day vulnerabilities and one-day flaws to break into target networks, leading to a surge in victims. The shift from encryption to exfiltration has also become a significant trend, as some ransomware operators have pivoted entirely from encryption to stealing sensitive data and threatening to sell or leak it to others.
To protect against ransomware attacks, organizations should prioritize patching of newly disclosed vulnerabilities, understand the adversary's tactics, and develop robust cybersecurity protocols. Additionally, implementing platforms for endpoint detection and response (EDR), security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR), and active security monitoring (ASM) can help reduce ransomware risk.

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.
