"8Base Ransomware Gang Escalates Double Extortion Attacks in June"

A ransomware gang named "8Base" has been targeting organizations worldwide in double-extortion attacks, with a constant stream of new victims. The ransomware group appeared for the first time in March 2022, maintaining a low profile with few notable attacks. In June 2023, the ransomware operation had a surge in activity, targeting many businesses across industries. So far, 8Base's dark web extortion site has listed 35 victims, with some days claiming as many as six victims simultaneously. This is a significant increase from March and April, when the group reported only a few victims. In May 2023, the extortion gang launched its data leak website, claiming to be "honest and simple" penetration testers. According to a new report by VMware's Carbon Black team, the tactics used in recent 8Base attacks indicate a rebranding of an established ransomware group, possibly RansomHouse. This article continues to discuss findings and observations regarding the 8Base ransomware group.
