Query:
I've seen a number of anecdotes in recent months where such
groups appear to be adopting strategies and tactics that are
strikingly similar to those you might see in a typical,
corporate business. Examples include setting up cooperative
partnerships and profit sharing arrangements with other
cybercriminal groups, using automated scanning and scoring tools
to determine the ROI from targeting a particular network, and
even adopting a cheery, helpdesk tone while negotiating with
victims.
As these groups continue to mature, do they look or feel more
like a modern corporate enterprise with a certain level of
professionalism, internal business goals and measurements and
annual revenue or reinvestment targets?
Requirements:
I'm looking for people who has worked for or with a company that
has been hit by ransomware attack and can speak to their
personal experience. Bonus points if you were a CISO or involved
in communicating with the group.
Did the operators adopt a cheery, almost corporate helpdesk tone
while negotiating? Did they team with other cyber criminals and
share profits? Tell me your impressions and experience.
