New Ransomware Group Eldorado Targets Mainly US Organizations
Eldorado, a new ransomware-as-a-service group, has targeted 16 organizations, mostly in the US, since its emergence in spring 2024. Focusing on sectors like real estate and healthcare, Eldorado uses Golang for cross-platform attacks and encrypts files with ChaCha20 and RSA-OAEP. Its ability to shut down and encrypt virtual machines severely disrupts business operations. Experts advise using multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection, regular backups, timely patching, and continuous employee training to defend against such threats.
