The ransomware claim alleges that the threat actor Dragonforce, associated with Segramar, targeted Grupo Serex in Costa Rica by disrupting their bulk handling operations at ports, including berthing assistance and logistics for raw materials such as animal feed and cacao. The attack potentially compromised the group’s integrated activities across port operations, shipping, heavy transport, poultry processing, and cacao production, impacting their supply chain continuity in Costa Rica. #CostaRica
