Ransomware Attack

- Deployment of the ransomware variant within the victim's computer system, allowing the actors to encrypt and steal data.
- Sending a ransom note to the victim demanding a payment in exchange for decrypting the victim's data.
- Negotiating a ransom amount with each victim willing to pay.
- Posting the victim's data on a public website, often called a data leak site, if the victim does not pay.
This pattern highlights the critical stages of a ransomware attack, from initial breach to potential data leakage on dark web platforms.

Recent Ransomware Attacks
The Recent Ransomware Attacks (RRA) site acts as a watchtower, providing you with near real-time ransomware tracking of attacks, groups and their victims. Given threat actors’ overarching, lucrative success so far, ransomware attacks have become the most ubiquitous, and financially and informationally impactful cyber threat to businesses and organizations today.
The site’s data is generated based on hosting choices of real-world threat actors, and a handful of other trackers. While sanitization efforts have been taken, we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy of the data. Attack updates will be made as source data is reported by reputable sources. By viewing, accessing, or using RRA you acknowledge you are doing so at your own risk.
