Gunra Ransomware Hits Three Uruguayan Firms in Three Months
The Gunra ransomware group has posted three Uruguayan companies on its leak site since June, the latest a law firm in Montevideo. The post Gunra Ransomware Hits Three Uruguayan Firms in Three Months appeared first on The Rio Times .
A group known as Gunra has targeted three Uruguayan businesses, including an advertising agency, a commercial interiors manufacturer, and a law firm, with ransomware in a span of three months. The Uruguay-based newspaper El Observador first reported on the victim companies but did not disclose their exact names. Experts advise companies to back up their data, educate employees on phishing emails, and prepare a response plan.
However, experts strongly discourage companies from paying the ransom, as it may encourage further attacks and does not guarantee data recovery. Instead, victims are advised to report the incident to authorities and seek assistance from cybersecurity professionals. The FBI and CISA issued a joint advisory on 10 August 2026, stating that Gunra appears to be based on Conti ransomware code.
Gunra's leak site claims to have stolen 40 GB of data from the advertising agency, 30 GB from the commercial interiors business, and 300 GB from the law firm, but these figures have not been independently verified.
