Ransomware Attack on Công ty TNHH bao bì Đức Anh
Company Overview
Công ty TNHH bao bì Đức Anh, a manufacturing company based in Vietnam, has been targeted by the ransomware group Lockbit3. The attack was announced on the group's dark web leak site. The company operates in the manufacturing sector, but specific details about the size of the company and its unique features in the industry are not readily available.
Vulnerabilities and Targeting
The lack of extensive information about Công ty TNHH bao bì Đức Anh's operations on its website makes it challenging to pinpoint specific vulnerabilities that may have led to the ransomware attack. Nonetheless, the manufacturing sector is a frequent target for ransomware groups due to the large volumes of sensitive data held and the sector's propensity to pay ransoms to restore access to their systems.
Ransomware Industry Growth
The ransomware industry has seen rapid growth, with 4,368 ransomware victims reported in 2023, marking a 55% increase from the previous year. The United States emerged as the most targeted country, accounting for 64% of ransomware cases, while the business services sector reported the highest number of cases at 1,265. Despite ongoing law enforcement efforts, the ransomware industry is expected to continue its upward trajectory in 2024.
Mitigation Strategies
Organizations are advised to implement dedicated supply chain security procedures, establish robust backup systems, and refrain from paying ransoms. Paying a ransom not only funds criminal activities but also may encourage subsequent attacks on the victim.

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.
