Ransomware Report: LockBit in attack mode

LockBit continues to shape the ransomware scene. The ransomware group again tops the list of groups selling ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS). In February 2023, LockBit reported a total of 126 victims on its leak page, according to analysis by Malwarebytes' threat intelligence team. It is not for nothing that the threat intelligence team at Malwarebytes named LockBit as one of the five biggest cyber threats for companies in 2023 in its “2023 State of Malware” report. As early as 2022, LockBit consistently proved to be by far the most active ransomware group. According to Malwarebytes, it was responsible for almost a third of all known…

Emotet handles Microsoft OneNote attachments

Emotet breaks new ground again and infects Microsoft OneNote documents. The digital notebook, which is popular in companies, is therefore a danger for many users. In fact, since last summer, Microsoft rolled out its initiative to automatically block macros from downloaded documents. This has forced criminals to reconsider how they want to spread malware via spam. One notable change has been the use of Microsoft OneNote documents by several other criminal gangs. Now it's Emotet's turn to follow this strategy. Dangerous OneNote Documents OneNote file is simple yet effective at social engineering users with a…

LockBit remains the leader among groups selling ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) in October. This is what the Malwarebytes ransomware report for October shows.

Ransomware Report: LockBit, Black Basta and even REvil

The July 2022 ransomware report from Malwarebytes shows little news. LockBit and Black Basta continue to lead in attack statistics. What is new, however, is the appearance of the ransomware REvil (also known as Sodinokibi), which was believed to be dead. As in previous months, LockBit remains by far the most active ransomware. Malwarebytes' threat intelligence team attributed 2022 attacks to the ransomware group in July 61 (compared to 44 attacks in June 2022 and 73 attacks in May 2022).
