Mysterious NotLockBit Ransomware Attacks Windows & Mac

The article from Techopedia discusses the emergence of a new ransomware variant named "NotLockBit," which has been targeting both Windows and macOS systems.

However, unlike LockBit, which has been known for its aggressive tactics and high ransom demands, NotLockBit's operations and demands are less clear, with some victims reporting no ransom notes or communication from the attackers. Cybersecurity experts are currently analyzing this new threat to understand its origins, distribution methods, and potential connections to other known ransomware groups. The article emphasizes the importance of vigilance and robust cybersecurity measures to protect against such evolving threats.
