  29. Totally idiotic. They acted against standing instructions to not pay. And what does "we got the data back " even mean? The hacker group has no reason to delete the data even after getting the money

  36. Ransomware: математический аппарат на службе зла

    Привет, Хабр! Я Илья Борисов, старший специалист отдела экспертизы MaxPatrol EDR антивирусной лаборатории Positive Technologies. В 2025 году команда аналитиков антивирусной лаборатории PT ESC провела исследование актуальных семейств ransomware (aka шифровальщиков), чтобы повысить эффективность их обнаружения нашим продуктом. Этот вид ВПО оказался одной из наиболее значимых и заметных разновидностей вредоносов, используемых в атаках в 2025 году. Мы проанализировали образцы, замеченные в период с конца 2024 года по конец 2025-го. Были разобраны как давно известные семейства шифровальщиков, такие как Black Basta, MedusaLocker и LockBit, и относительно недавно появившиеся Lynx, HellCat и BERT. В этой статье хочу поделиться результатами этого исследования. Для начала расскажу про типы шифровальщиков, на кого они нацелены, как работают, подсвечу технические детали, а также ретроспективно прослежу некоторые тенденции в эволюции ransomware.
