Chaos ransomware targets gamers via fake Minecraft alt lists

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/chaos-ransomware-targets-gamers-via-fake-minecraft-alt-lists/

Excerpts:

The Chaos Ransomware gang encrypts gamers' Windows devices through fake Minecraft alt lists promoted on gaming forums.

Minecraft is a massively popular sandbox video game currently played by over 140 million people, and according to Nintendo sales numbers, it's a top-seller title in Japan.

=================================================================
Solid State Drives (SSDs) were made to be Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) as of a few years ago, and just need to be activated and managed. It seems that Wave could enable and manage these drives to help protect against ransomware and if Wave Endpoint Monitor were used the technology would detect this ransomware (malware)! Wave's MFA, Wave VSC 2.0 could also help protect the gamers so that the bad guys are not accessing the network. Steven Sprague once said that the consumer market would arrive first. Here is a big opportunity for Wave!
