Defray 777 ransomware is perhaps the most destructive ransomware family in recent years. This ransomware family includes extensions such as Ransom X and Ransom XXX. This group has been active since 2017, with constant attacks and a remarkable evolution in its ransomware.
This ransomware was the first recorded ransomware to be able to become hybrid, being able to attack both Windows and Linux operating systems.
The main means of attack of Defray 777 ransomware is the email phishing campaign, the ransomware is attached in the email in microsoft word documents, which once downloaded, immediately installs the ransomware on the system, the ransomware’s first measure is to disable commands that could be a risk to it.
The ransomware hides itself in the memory and starts the encryption process, only after the encryption of all files the ransomware locks the computer presenting the ransom message to the victim.
The attacks are mainly directed at companies operating in the health area, but are not restricted to them only. Recently, it attacked Lojas Renner, which paralysed the company’s entire E-commerce operation.
Rumour has it that the ransom demanded by the group was around 1 billion reais, but it is not known for sure what the outcome of the attack was.
Perhaps this is the group that has updated the most over time, they are as active as they were in their first attacks.
