Ransomware

BabyLockerKZ is a variant of MedusaLocker ransomware, first observed in late 2023. It operates under a double‑extortion model, combining file encryption with data exfiltration and extortion. Technically, it reuses MedusaLocker’s AES + RSA‑2048 hybrid encryption, appends the .hazard file extension to encrypted files, and includes a unique autorun registry key (“BabyLockerKZ”) alongside dedicated public/private key data inserted into registry values. Initial access is achieved through opportunistic methods like RDP compromises, with lateral movement facilitated by compromised credentials and tools such as Mimikatz. The variant employs a custom toolkit codenamed paid_memes, which includes tools like "Checker" for scanning credentials, facilitating automation, and bridging toolsets for further exploitation. Starting late 2022, its operators have compromised over 100 organizations per month, initially targeting European victims before shifting toward Latin America in 2023.

DUMB variant discovered on November 16, 2017. Disguised itself as a popular virtual private network (VPN) in Iran known as Psiphon and infected Iranian users. Included Farsi-language ransom note, decryptable in the same way as previous DUMB-based variants. Message requested only US$15 for unlock key. Advertised two local and Iran-based payment processors: exchange.ir and webmoney.ir.Shared unique and specialized indicators with RASTAKHIZ; iDefense threat intelligence analysts believe this similarity confirms that the same actor was behind the repurposing of both types of ransomware.

D0glun is a crypto-ransomware strain first observed in January 2025, believed to be derived from Babuk via an intermediary variant known as Cheng Xilun. It uses AES-256 symmetric encryption and appends filenames with patterns such as .@D0glun@<original extension> or similar. The malware encrypts files rapidly, changes the desktop wallpaper, and drops ransom notes typically named @[email protected], Desktopcxl.txt, or help.exe. The campaign has shown signs of shared infrastructure and code reuse from Cheng Xilun, but there is no confirmed evidence of a large-scale or mature operation. Its activity so far suggests it is being tested or deployed by a small group or individual rather than a structured affiliate network.
