Summary
The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released a Flash Alert for the DarkSide ransomware family. The ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) has targeted multiple sectors including manufacturing, legal, insurance, healthcare, and energy. The malicious software exfiltrates sensitive information before encryption and threatens to publish the data if the ransom is not paid. DarkSide uses Salsa20 encryption and can encrypt files on Microsoft Windows and Linux systems.
The McAfee Enterprise ATR Team gathers and analyzes information from multiple open and closed sources before disseminating intelligence reports.
This campaign was researched by CISA and shared publicly.
