Logically, this means extending one of the logical VxLAN segments on the NSX platform to the ToR physical layer and bridging it with the VLAN for the storage lake. These requirements were met by using the DellEMC Networking 25G S5048-ON switches as a Hardware VTEP at the ToR layer. Secondly we wanted an option for East-West routing between the virtual clusters on the VxLAN segments and the physical network on the datacenter. Since the storage lake is meant only for the NSX Private cloud tenants and is connected to the ToR which is local to the datacenter, we don’t want this traffic to be considered as a North-South for the environment. This could be achieved via the DLR-ESG routing path via the ESG appliances but we don’t want to do that, just to avoid a kind of bottleneck in the future. RedAlert/N13V threat actors only accept Monero cryptocurrency for ransom payment.Hello everyone, I recently got to work on a specific use case requirement where the virtual clusters on the NSX logical segments on a tenant requires access to a storage lake that involves huge amounts of data transfer between the clusters and storage lake. The payment page on the Tor network is similar to other Ransomware operation pages where a ransom demand is shown, and options are offered to negotiate with threat actors. A ransom note named HOW_TO_RESTORE, which is observed to be added to each folder by the ransomware, contains a description of the data compromised and a Tor link that directs victims to the ransom payment site.

In the sample analyzed by security researchers, it was observed that the Ransomware software added the “.crypt658” extension to the filenames of encrypted files.

The malware, which has been observed to use the NTRUEncrypt algorithm for encryption operations, only targets files associated with VMware ESXi servers, such as log files (.log), swap files (.vswp), virtual disks (.vmdk), and memory files (.vmem). The Linux encryptor is designed to focus on VMware ESXi servers and has command line parameters that allow threat actors to shut down running virtual machines before encrypting the file. A new Ransomware called RedAlert (N13V) has been detected targeting VMware ESXi servers installed on both Windows and Linux systems in attacks on corporate networks.
