SunCrypt ransomware, also known as Ransom.SunCrypt, is one of the clear examples of how ransomware groups act after successful attacks on large companies.
After these attacks they shut down for a while and then a new ransomware comes out, which is just a derivation of the old ransomware, in other words, they just change the name and continue with the same tactics.
The SunCrypt ransomware appeared under the name QNAPCrypt, also known as eCh0raix, they were known at the time by the attacks directed at the Linux operating system and the search for NAS servers (Network Attached Storage), they were specialized in this.
After some time and several successful attacks, the group disappeared and appeared later under the name SunCrypt, and since then has remained with that name. But with a curious feature, the fact that they claimed to team up with Maze HQ, who control the Maze, Lockbit and Ragnar Locker ransomware.
Three malware that have acted frantically and have become big among ransomware groups. SunCrypt claimed that it joined the group as they were not keeping up with the demand.
Interestingly, sometime later the Maze cartel vehemently denied SunCrypt joining their cartel. There was no further comment from SunCrypt about it.
But the fact is that after the supposed merger with Maze, SunCrypt attacks increased rapidly. We may never know if in fact there was this union between them, but the truth is that the attacks continue. The group has focused on educational institutions and hospitals.
The group operates with the RaaS (Ransomware as a service) tactic that the outsourcing of attacks, it was seen on Dark Web forums the group looking for partners who want to do attacks with their ransomware.
Ultimately it can be seen that SunCrypt is seeking authority on the global ransomware scene. This is worrying because the way they consolidate themselves in the market is with successful attacks, this shows how committed the group is to increasing the numbers of their attacks.
