Kryptina RaaS | From Unsellable Cast-Off to Enterprise Ransomware
Kryptina RaaS | From Unsellable Cast-Off to Enterprise Ransomware
Kryptina's adoption by Mallox affiliates complicates malware tracking as ransomware operators blend different codebases into new variants. Kryptina evolved from a free tool on public forums to being actively used in enterprise attacks, particularly under the Mallox ransomware family. In May 2024, a Mallox affiliate leaked staging server data, revealing that their Linux ransomware was based on a modified version of Kryptina. The affiliate made superficial changes to source code and documentation, stripping Kryptina branding but retaining core functionality. The adoption of Kryptina by Mallox affiliates exemplifies the commoditization of ransomware tools, complicating malware tracking as affiliates blend different codebases into new variants. * This original research was presented by the author at LABScon 2024 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

“TargetCompany” is a type of ransomware that was first identified in June 2021. The researchers named it TargetCompany ransomware because it adds the targeted company name as a file extension to the encrypted files. In September 2022, researchers identified a TargetCompany ransomware variant targeting Microsoft SQL servers and adding the “Fargo” extension to the encrypted files. TargetCompany ransomware is also known to add a “Mallox” extension after encrypting the files.
