ransomware

From Bing Search to Ransomware: Bumblebee and AdaptixC2 Deliver Akira

A threat campaign leverages Bumblebee malware and AdaptixC2 command-and-control infrastructure to deliver Akira ransomware through Bing search results. The intrusions were first reported in July 2025 and subsequently observed again in August 2025 by Swisscom B2B CSIRT analysts.

Why it matters: Organizations relying on search-based malware distribution are at risk; practitioners should monitor for Bumblebee and AdaptixC2 indicators and implement detection controls for Akira ransomware deployments.
