Tired of DoorDash-ing? Become a Ransomware Hacker!

▤ Summary

Now, cloud infrastructure is widely available, providing standardized and scalable environments and offering crime gangs the ability to franchise their efforts. Using this organizational technique, RaaS is structured like big business, with the increased operational efficiencies leading to an observed escalation in the number of ransomware attacks. This opens the door to more than just your everyday criminals; terrorists are now entering the game as a way to inflict damage on their targets, causing a significant threat to national security in the United States. Because the RaaS business model is a vicious loop, as ransomware groups make more money, they can invest more in their operations and hire more affiliates, allowing them to hit bigger targets, repeating this cycle indefinitely. This pattern and the current threat landscape highlight the lack of tools, resources, and expertise to keep up with the growing list of vulnerabilities, attack techniques, and security incidents within victimized organizations.
