Notable Cyberattacks: Several significant cyberattacks were reported during the week, including an Akira ransomware attack on Tietoevry, a Veolia North America ransomware incident, and an attack on EquiLend, claimed by LockBit. loanDepot revealed that its January 6th ransomware attack exposed the data of 16.6 million individuals.

Ransomware Groups and Variants: Researchers linked the 3AM ransomware operation to notorious groups like Conti and Royal. New variants such as FAUST and LockXX were identified, while PCrisk discovered fresh Phobos and STOP ransomware variants appending unique extensions.

Threat Assessment: BianLian: Researchers tracked the activities of the BianLian ransomware group, observing its impact on the healthcare and manufacturing sectors in the US and Europe.
