The Brazilian Ministry of Economy has disclosed a ransomware attack that hit
some of National Treasury's computing systems on Friday night, right before the
start of the weekend.
"On Friday night (13) a ransomware attack on the internal network of the
National Treasury Secretariat was identified," the Brazilian government
revealed on Saturday evening.

The threat was contained after the attack was detected, and the Federal Police
was contacted immediately after the containment measures were applied.
Security specialists with the National Treasury Secretariat and the Digital
Government Secretariat are still investigating the extent of the breach.
"In this first stage, it was assessed that the action did not damage the
structuring systems of the National Treasury Secretariat, such as the Integrated
Financial Administration System (SIAFI) and those related to Public Debt," the
Brazilian Ministry of Economy added.
Government officials will disclose additional information on the ransomware
attack when available, in "a timely manner and with due transparency."
The Brazilian government also issued a joint statement with the Brazilian Stock
Exchange on Monday regarding the incident, as first reported by ZDNet.
"The National Treasury Department and B3, responsible for the Treasury Direct
operation, communicate that the ransomware attack suffered last Friday against
the National Treasury Department's internal network in no way affected the
platform," the statement reads. "Purchases and sales can still be carried out
normally."
In April, Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul court system was also hit by REvil
ransomware after another attack from November when the RansomEXX ransomware gang
attacked the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice.
While the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice was dealing with RansomEXX having
encrypted their systems, the websites of multiple other Brazilian federal
government agencies were also taken offline.
