FIN7 Targeting U.S. Businesses with BadUSB Devices
The FBI is alerting U.S. organizations about the rise in BadUSB attacks, by the Fin7 threat actor group, that deliver ransomware to unsuspecting organizations. Plugging the USB drives into computers registers the drive as a keyboard and sends a series of automated pre-configured keystrokes. The group has been using this attack technique to target organizations in insurance and transportation since August 2021.
