Hackers continue coming up with new ways to scam their victims. This time, a ransomware is being used to impersonate a cybersecurity firm.
As hackers come up with new ways to attack, not even trustworthy names can be taken at face value. This time, a ransom-as-a-service attack is being used to impersonate a cybersecurity vendor called Sophos.

Our preliminary findings show Sophos InterceptX protects against these ransomware samples,” said Sophos in a tweet, referring to its proprietary endpoint protection tool. The encryptor requires a token associated with the victim, and this token is later verified online before the attack can be carried out. However, researchers found that this can be bypassed by disabling network connections. Once the tool is operational, it gives the attacker the choice to encrypt certain files or even the entire device. The encrypted files then use the extension “.sophos.”
