Gauging the Scale of an Active Ransomware Gang's Infrastructure





Many already know that ransomware operators can earn hundreds of millions each year.1 But what they may be unaware of is that 75% of a gang’s earnings go to their affiliates.2

Dancho Danchev identified three email addresses that belonged to ransomware affiliates, along with 21 domains that figured in their campaigns. Using these indicators of compromise (IoCs) as jump-off points, TIP researchers were able to identify other artifacts, namely:

  • 90 domains that were registered using the email addresses identified as IoCs, three of which turned out to be malicious
  • 20+ IP addresses the email-connected and other domains identified as IoCs resolved to, six of which were confirmed to be malware hosts
  • 3,900+ domains that shared the IoCs’ IP hosts, 38 of which have already figured in malware and spam campaigns
