BlackMatter

BlackMatter is a type of malicious software known as ransomware. It infects computers or networks and encrypts files, making them inaccessible to users. Cybercriminals then demand a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption keys needed to restore access. BlackMatter is notable for targeting organizations, often demanding significant sums, and is part of a wave of recent ransomware groups that operate with coordinated tactics. It emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity measures, regular backups, and vigilance to prevent and respond to such cyber threats.
