"Ransomware With an Identity Crisis Targets Small Businesses, Individuals"

Researchers have discovered a new strain of ransomware dating back to 2019. It targets individuals and small organizations, demanding small ransoms from each victim. Researchers from the security and operations analytics company Netenrich recently revealed that TZW is the latest strain of the Adhubllka ransomware family, which first surfaced in January 2020 but was already active the year before. Even more significant than the strain's discovery is the process that researchers used to correctly identify it. Many Adhubllka samples have been misclassified and/or mistagged into other ransomware families throughout the years, according to Rakesh Krishnan, senior threat analyst at Netenrich. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the latest version of Adhubllka.
