Most productive year for ransomware families. [Newspaper] (2021)
Abstract
KUALA LUMPUR: Kaspersky recently confirmed that 2020 was the year of "Ransomware 2.0" in Asia Pacific. The company's lead malware analyst, Alexey Shulmin said 2020 was the most productive year for ransomware families who moved from hostaging data to exfiltrating data, coupled with blackmailing. He said that in Asia Pacific, there is an interesting re-emergence of two highly-active groups, REvil and JSWorm. "Both resurfaced as the pandemic rages in the region last year, and we see no signs of them stopping anytime soon," he added. Kaspersky exposed REvil ransomware, also known as Sodinokibi and Sodin, a few months ago, where the group had distributed itself and Oracle Weblogic vulnerability and attacked on MSP providers.
