DarkSide Ransomware
What is DarkSide? DarkSide, a Ransomware-as-a-Service model, first appeared in August 2020. The DarkSide group was previously heavily present on hacking forums and used to regularly update ‘customers’ with news of the ransomware (before the Colonial Pipeline attack). To hit as many victims at the same time, the gang had created a programme for affiliates.
