GandCrab ransomware

GandCrab ransomware encrypts victims’ files and demands ransom payment for data access. It follows an affiliate marketing business model, where low-level cybercriminals find new victims, and the threat authors improve their creation. A malicious spam mail containing a Microsoft Word attachment with a macro to execute PowerShell command downloads the ransomware onto the victim's system.

Ransom notes are placed prominently on the victim’s computer, directing them to a website on the Dark Web where they can decrypt one file of their choosing for free. Ransom payments are made through a cryptocurrency called Dash, and the ransom demands set by the affiliate can range between $600 and $600,000.

A SIEM solution with the MITRE ATT&CK matrix can detect malicious abuse of PowerShell activity in your network, preventing malware download and ensuring protection.
