@USCGSoutheast This is extremely sad. Our thoughts are with the family, friends and co-workers of Vitali. Thank you to the @USCGSoutheast for your persistence.

#UPDATE5/#FINAL Mr. Vitali Kremez's body was recovered by local authorities Wednesday. "We'd like to express our deepest condolences to the loved ones of Mr. Kremez," said CWO Edgardo Insignares, a Sector Miami command duty officer. #SAR

#SearchAndRescue @USCG crews are searching for 36-year-old Vitali Kremez, last seen wearing a black wetsuit and scuba tank while diving near #HollywoodBeach, Florida. Anyone with information is asked to call Sector Miami at (305) 535-4472.

As profits decline, in desperation, even big-name #ransomware groups are resorting to re-extortion (which they previously avoided because it's bad for their reputation) and hitting any/all sectors, leading to a surge in healthcare attacks. h/t @coveware @uuallan @Intel_by_KELA

Ransomware responders say 'amateur' tactics are leading fewer victims to pay, as reliability of decryptors decreases & more crypto-locking malware simply shreds files. Quality is down because more attackers are using leaked code (not RaaS). databreachtoday.com/blogs/ransomwa… @euroinfosec
