Return of Cl0p and Their 'One to Many' Tactics

Cl0p is back — and once again, the ransomware group is showing why attacking the technology that connects organisations can be far more powerful than attacking them one at a time.

This episode examines Cl0p’s latest campaign targeting vulnerabilities in PTC Windchill and Flex PLM, enterprise software used across engineering, manufacturing and other industries.

The conversation explores Cl0p’s “one-to-many” approach: find a widely deployed piece of enterprise software, exploit a vulnerability, and use it as a gateway into potentially hundreds of organisations. It’s a strategy the group has used before, most notably in the MOVEit campaign, which ultimately affected thousands of organisations.

The episode looks at why data theft and extortion can now be more valuable than traditional ransomware encryption, why attackers are increasingly targeting the “multiplier” in an organisation’s technology ecosystem, and why simply patching a vulnerability may not be enough if an attacker has already gained access.

It also explores the risks posed by MSPs, remote management platforms and trusted third parties — and what security teams should be doing to identify their own potential multipliers.

The key lesson? Don’t just ask what happens if this system is compromised. Ask: if this system is compromised, what else does the attacker get?
