Shinra Ransomware

Ever since Shinra Ransomware was first discovered in early 2021, it has posed a significant threat to businesses and individuals alike. It’s a medium risk ransomware that primarily targets Windows operating systems. One prominent case involved an attack on a US software company in May 2021, causing the company to lose important data and face operational disruption(source). Further, in August 2021, an Asian healthcare service provider fell victim to the Shinra ransomware, leading to a significant compromise of sensitive patient records(source).
