Daixin Team Ransomware: A Growing Cyber Threat

The Daixin Team is a ransomware group known for targeting healthcare, government, and enterprise sectors, especially VMware ESXi servers. They exploit VPN vulnerabilities, phishing, and weak authentication to gain access, then exfiltrate and encrypt sensitive data. Notably, they claimed responsibility for a June 2024 attack on Dubai Municipality, stealing up to 80GB of sensitive information. Their expanding attacks highlight the need for strong cybersecurity measures, including MFA, regular patching, and network monitoring.
