"CryptNet: Russian Ransom Gang Makes Its Debut"

Cybersecurity researchers at ZeroFox have discovered a new ransomware gang on the dark web called CryptNet. They made the discovery on the dark web forum RAMP, where a threat actor advertised the new Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) group. ZeroFox noted that CryptNet is advertised as quick and undetectable with various capabilities and features, including deleting shadow copies and disabling backup services. The group also offers offline encryption and a negotiation chat panel. ZeroFox suspects that CryptNet has already racked up some ransomware victims, with two victims having been identified at the end of April. CryptNet offers a 90 percent cut to anyone using its newly developed illegal software in a successful attack. This is one of the highest percentages seen on the RaaS market, with most affiliates receiving between 60 and 80 percent, according to ZeroFox, which added that CryptNet claimed it would also provide support during ransom negotiations. This article continues to discuss the new ransomware gang CryptNet.
