Recently, the Cl0p ransomware group received a lot of media attention for compromising a large number of organizations by exploiting a recently-unpatched vulnerability in MOVEit Transfer (CVE-2023-34362), a managed file transfer (MFT) solution. Although there is no evidence that the threat actor used the encryptor in this particular incident, the group exfiltrated data from victims and threatened them with ransom in exchange for not exposing the stolen information.
