Decoding the RansomHub Puzzle:
Unveiling the Covert Tactics
The C1BAS Incident Response team uncovered a sophisticated RansomHub campaign, shedding light on the evolving tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of modern ransomware operators. Now responsible for 10.2% of global encryptions, RansomHub has emerged as the second most active ransomware strain in 2024. This exclusive report provides a deep technical dive into the Golang-based ransomware, its configurations, and the critical security gaps it exploits.
RansomHub’s Rapid Evolution: What You Need to Know
RansomHub is refining its techniques at an alarming pace, leveraging advanced evasion, rapid encryption, and stealthy propagation to outmaneuver defenses. Our full report dissects the latest enhancements:
Pre-Encryption Command Execution
Attackers can now run commands before locking files, enabling deeper system compromise.
Targeted Evasion Tactics
New configurations to skip hypervisors, exclude folders, and selectively encrypt files.
Enhanced Forensic Tampering
Log wiping, recycle bin cleanup, and evidence destruction to hinder investigation.
“Fast Encryption Mode”
Speeds up encryption while avoiding detection markers, reducing response time for defenders.
