FunkSec, one of the most active and dangerous ransomware groups in operation, has escalated its global assault—with 109 confirmed victims to date.
Organizations in Nigeria, Zambia, Gabon, Algeria, Egypt, and Kenya have all been affected.
FunkSec has breached entities across government, education, and financial services, proving that no sector is off-limits.
To defend against evolving threats like FunkSec:
✅ Keep all software and systems up to date — patch management is critical.
✅ Educate your entire workforce — especially leadership — on phishing awareness and cyber hygiene.
✅ Enforce strong access controls and network segmentation.
✅ Back up critical data regularly — and keep copies offline.
