"NetWalker Ransomware Gang Has Made $25 Million Since March 2020"

Researchers at McAfee have discovered that the operators of the NetWalker ransomware have likely earned more than $25 million from ransom payments since March this year.  The $25 million figure puts NetWalker close to the top of the most successful ransomware gangs known today, with other known names such as Ryuk, Dharma, and REvil (Sodinokibi). NetWalker, as a ransomware strain, first appeared in August 2019. The ransomware operates as a closed access RaaS ransomware-as-a-service portal. Other hacker gangs sign up and go through a vetting process, after which they are granted access to a web portal where they can build custom versions of the ransomware.
