Ransomware-as-a-Service: Cybercrime’s Comedic Twist on the Sharing Economy

Cybercriminals have taken laziness to new heights, rolling out the red carpet for Ransomware-as-a-service Threats. It’s like Uber, but for cybercrimes, with Play ransomware up for rent. Thankfully, their ‘how-to’ guide approach has left tracks for cybersecurity firms to follow. Let’s be thankful for cyber crooks who make our job a tad easier!

Hot Take:

Just when you thought cybercriminals couldn't get lazier, they've begun to rent out ransomware. That's right, folks, welcome to the age of Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS)! The popular Play ransomware is apparently now being franchised out to the highest bidder. It's like Uber, but for illegal activities. Cybersecurity firm Adlumin has been tracking these attacks, and they've found some pretty stark similarities. It's almost like these hackers have a 'how-to' guide. So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, let's give thanks for lazy criminals who leave a trail of breadcrumbs for cybersecurity firms to follow.
