This episode chronicles the activities of several ransomware groups from January 2023 to July 2024. Key events include Avast's creation of a BianLian decryptor, law enforcement actions against LockBit and ALPHV/BlackCat (the latter of which executed an exit scam), and the rise of RansomHub, a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) platform gaining popularity among affiliates. The analysis suggests that actors previously associated with BianLian and ALPHV/BlackCat may have switched to RansomHub, potentially due to its affiliate-friendly payment structure and the failures of other operations. The text also highlights instances of overlapping victim targeting, suggesting potential collaborations or independent attacks on the same entities. Finally, the text illustrates the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between ransomware operators and law enforcement.
