Ransomware Groups

Conti is an extremely damaging ransomware due to the speed with which it encrypts data and spreads to other systems. It was first observed in 2020 and it is thought to be led by a Russia-based cybercrime group that goes under the Wizard Spider pseudonym. In early May 2022, the US government announced a reward of up to $10 million for information on the Conti ransomware gang.

Beast is a Ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) product which provides functionality such as SMB scanning, file encryption, service and process starting and stopping, and geographic identification to avoid encryption in CIS countries.

The group appears unreliable. Most, if not all, of its alleged victims cannot be verified and appear to be randomly selected organizations. WE HAVE DECIDED TO REMOVE ENTRIES FOR THIS GROUP
