Federal authorities have issued an advisory warning people of Medusa ransomware that has breached the data of more than 300 people since February.

The agencies warn Gmail and Outlook users to be on the outlook for harmful emails containing ransomware — a kind of malicious software that prevents you from accessing your computer files, systems or networks and demands you pay a ransom for their return.

Federal agencies are warning Gmail and Outlook email users of a costly ransomware scheme that has already affected more than 300 victims. The FBI and the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued the advisory, detailing a warning about the Medusa hacking organization, which has been active since 2021.
