In its latest announcement, the ransomware group Medusa Team announced the addition of Digitel Venezuela to its list of victims.
Digitel is a mobile telephony company operating in Venezuela and a pioneer in the country, having built the country’s first GSM network and introduced per-second pricing. This development is not limited to a cyberattack on a technology company, but also affects an important milestone in the country’s telecommunications sector.
The ransomware attack raises far-reaching concerns about the security of not only an organization but also the country’s communications infrastructure.
