BlackCat Ransomware Strikes Quickly and Stealthily

The threat actors behind the BlackCat ransomware have come up with an improved variant that prioritizes speed and stealth.

This new strain of the ransomware, also called Alphav and Noberus, is the first Rust-language-based ransomware strain spotted in the wild.

It also shares overlaps with the now-defunct Black Matter ransomware family according to Cisco Talos and Kaspersky.

Despite law enforcement campaigns against cybercrime and ransomware groups, the continuous shift in tactics is proof that BlackCat remains an active threat to organizations and has ‘no signs of winding down.’

Ransomware companies should be aware of the continuing threat from these sophisticated threat actors who are using increasingly sophisticated means to gain access to enterprise networks.
