# Unmasking a Dual-Target Ransomware Attack: Insights and Best Practices

 

ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

### Watch our latest byte of cyber security.

Welcome to **Bitdefender Bits & Bytes**, our cybersecurity series featuring experts from Bitdefender Labs and MDR, focused on topics we find fascinating. Whether you're interested in threat hunting, incident response, vulnerability research, or simply eager to learn more about cybersecurity, you've come to the right place.

 

## **Included in this Bits and Bytes episode:**

**Unmasking a Dual-Target Ransomware Attack**

Join us for an in-depth look at a **unique ransomware attack** **that hit two companies at the same time.** This webinar, based on a recent investigation by Bitdefender Labs, explores an unusual (for now) attack where **each strike was executed within a mere 5-minute window**, targeting not just workstations, but also critical hypervisors and all associated servers.

Featuring a panel of seasoned security professionals, including the leader of the team actively carrying out the forensic investigation and the head of our MDR cyber threat intelligence team, **this session will provide real-world insights into the latest ransomware tactics and techniques.**

After this session, you will not only understand the anatomy of this attack but also be armed with **actionable recommendations and best practices, gained from our extensive field experience, to fortify your organization's defenses.**

**Full research on the ransomware incident is [available here](https://www.bitdefender.com/blog/businessinsights/cactus-analyzing-a-coordinated-ransomware-attack-on-corporate-networks/), though it's not required reading ahead of the webinar.**
