The FBI and CISA recently published an update to the joint Cybersecurity Advisory “#StopRansomware: Royal Ransomware.” The updated advisory provides network defenders with recent and historically observed tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with BlackSuit variants (previously Royal).
