"Behind the Scenes of Matveev's Ransomware Empire: Tactics and Team"
Cybersecurity researchers at PRODAFT have detailed the inner workings of the ransomware operation led by Mikhail Pavlovich Matveev, a Russian national indicted earlier this year by the US government for his alleged role in executing thousands of attacks worldwide. Matveev, who goes by the aliases Wazawaka, m1x, Boriselcin, Uhodiransomwar, Orange, and waza, is alleged to have played a major role in the development and distribution of LockBit, Babuk, and Hive ransomware variants since at least June 2020.
