Researchers discover new ransomware gang ‘Muliaka’ attacking Russian businesses
A previously unknown ransomware gang has been attacking Russian businesses with malware based on the leaked source code from the Conti hacking group. The gang, which researchers at the Moscow-based cybersecurity company F.A.C.C.T. have dubbed “Muliaka," or Muddy Water in English, has left minimal traces from its attacks but has likely been active since at least December 2023.
