"Meet NoEscape, the Return of the Avaddon RaaS Gang"

NoEscape appears to be the return of Avaddon, a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS). Since June 2023, NoEscape has used double-extortion techniques against large companies. The cybercriminals behind it steal data from Windows, Linux, and VMware ESXi servers and encrypt files. Avaddon had not been detected since June 2021 until NoEscape emerged last month. The connection was made based on an analysis by ID Ransomware creator and ransomware expert Michael Gillespie. According to security experts, the NoEscape and Avaddon encryptors are almost identical. Avaddon encrypted files using the AES algorithm, whereas NoEscape uses the Salsa20 algorithm. However, NoEscape uses the same encryption logic and file formats as Avaddon. This article continues to discuss the return of the Avaddon RaaS gang with NoEscape.
