Ransomware Basics
What is a ransomware gang?
A ransomware gang is an organized criminal group that develops and operates ransomware, often running it as a business with affiliates, support functions, and data-leak sites. Well-known gangs rebrand and evolve to evade pressure.
These groups produce a constant stream of new variants, which is why signature-based defense lags. Elastio’s behavioral, signature-free detection is built to catch their novel payloads.
