I’ve archived my previous work to update this section, but it’s important to be look back to see patterns and historical context. A lot has happened in just a couple of years of rapid evolution.
- Highly targeted attacks on corporations vs ransom individuals
- Big Game Hunting – knowing how much that corporation can pay and scaling the demands higher
- RaaS – Ransomware as a Service
- Setting affiliates up for success with access brokering
- The unholy trinity of Emotet/Trickbot/QBot.
- Ryuk
- Maze
- Extortionist Ransomware
- Name & Shame sites.
- Nation states get in on the action
- The rise and fall and rebirth of groups: Ryuk/Conti, Maze/Egregor
- Add some DDoS in there for extra incentive
- OMFG Egregor
