This week, ESET researchers published a deep dive into the recent activities of cybercrime group CosmicBeetle. CosmicBeetle turned out to, among other things, abuse the disgrace of the LockBit ransomware gang for its own purposes. The analysis also revealed that CosmicBeetle is likely to become a new affiliate of ransomware-as-a-service actor RansomHub, and that SMBs in various parts of the world have been compromised with its new ScRansom ransomware. However, this ransomware exhibits such decryption issues that it is effectively impossible to recover some encrypted files.
