Australia, U.S., and UK authorities have issued guidelines encouraging individuals and organizations to reinforce their cyber defences against global ransomware threats, cyber criminals-for-hire, and attacks on critical infrastructure.
The joint advisory was published on Feb. 9 from the U.S.’s Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Security Agency, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), along with the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre, and the Australian Cyber Security Centre, designed to provide “essential guidance” and how to strengthen cyber defences.
