Ransomware gang hacks Ecuador’s largest private bank, Ministry of Finance

A hacker group called “Hotarus Corp” has breached Ecuador’s Ministry of Finance and the country’s largest bank, Banco Pichincha, where they claim to have stolen internal data. 

The ransomware gang first targeted Ecuador’s Ministry of Finance, Ecuador’s Ministry of Economy and Finance, where it deployed a PHP-based ransomware strain to encrypt a site hosting an online course. 

 

Immediately after the attack, threat actors posted a text file containing 6,632 login names and password combinations on a hacker forum.
