Being able to escalate your privileges is a crucial step at getting full control of a computer. And this could be the beginning of a big deal. And just as Omar was about to tell someone about this, news broke out.

Wait, quantum ransomware? Gosh, a totally different group hit them? It makes me want to make a meme out of all this ransomware news. Enough is enough. I've had it with this mother flipping ransomware on these mother flipping computers. Just when you tune your eyes to be able to see and detect a certain kind of malware, you get blindsided by a totally different kind.

And whatever that malware was that Omar found on that web server, that had nothing to do with this quantum ransomware.

Luckily, they detected this quite quickly and called Omar in very early. He got in his car and drove down to the data center that was infected. And when he got on the systems there, he was able to see the people who were behind the quantum ransomware typing out commands infecting more systems. So because he reacted so quickly, he was able to stop the spread of it from getting on more machines.

And this is a stressful situation. I don't know if you've ever gotten your computer or phone infected, but anytime this happens, you have to wonder, did you clean your device good enough? Are they still in there? And you never actually know. You sort of have to cross your fingers and hope the attackers will let you know if they're in there still.

Even though he's kicked them out of this one system, it's hard to tell if they just come right back in or what other systems they may have access to. It's like trying to build a dam in the dark with just sticks and rocks.

No attribution on the final report for the quantum ransomware infection. Okay. Attribution means figuring out who did this. And they couldn't figure it out. There just simply wasn't enough clues. It seemed to be fairly common malware with no clear path leading to anyone in particular. All it seemed was that it was financially motivated.

They wanted money and that's the whole reason why they did this. And I think there's three main categories for different types of attackers. There's the hacktivist type people who are hacking into things just for fun or to make a point, like those defacing websites. And then there are people who are financially motivated. They're only there to make money.

And then there are more sophisticated groups there trying to steal state secrets or something. I mean, they might even have spies on the ground of the place they're trying to break into. If you know who your adversary is, you can combat against that particular threat more effectively. You can prepare better and be more alert.

So it's important to understand the landscape of who can and who is and who should and who would be attacking you. When you're dealing with ransomware, you're typically up against someone who just wants money. And if you don't pay it or make it really hard for them, they'll probably just move on to an easier target. So after this attack, things settled down. Omar went back to his normal duties.
