Hello,

How ransomware players are adding DDoS attacks to their arsenal

"According to NETSCOUT, by combining file encryption, data theft and
DDoS attacks, cybercriminals have essentially developed three-pronged
ransomware designed to increase payment possibilities. SunCrypt and
Ragnor Locker ransomware are said to be the first to use this tactic.
But since then, other operators have also followed, including Avaddon
and Darkside, the perpetrator of the Colonial Pipeline incident. From
the perspective of threat actors, adding DDoS attacks to the list of
ransomware services is a smart business move"

It was all so different before everything changed.
