GE produced and released Version 07A04, which fixes the vulnerability. CISA also recommends a series of measures to mitigate the vulnerability. Read the advisory at CISA.

“Ransomware Attacks Are Now Data Breaches:” Criminals Threaten to Identify Victims and Release Data

In the last few days, the cyber criminals behind the Maze ransomware created a public website where they identify their victims who have chosen to rebuild their operations rather than yield to the ransom demands. The move is part of the criminals’ signaling that they will publish the data stolen from their victims if they don’t pay. “For years, ransomware developers and affiliates have been telling victims that they must pay the ransom or stolen data would be publicly released,” said cybersecurity researcher and BleepingComputer founder Lawrence Adams.
