RansomHub: A New Player in the Ransomware Scene

RansomHub is a relatively new ransomware-as-a-service operation whose darknet site features an index page where all its victims are listed, as well as About and Contact pages. The group claims to be a team of hackers from around the world, motivated by one thing – financial gain.

However, the gang does say that it does not allow attacks against certain targets, including CIS, Cuba, North Korea, and China. The group also lists a few general rules that it follows, as well as rules for its affiliates. RansomHub does not allow non-profit organizations to be targeted, and nor does it allow “re-attacks” – follow-up attacks on victims who have already paid.
