These days, it’s easy to come across new ransomware strains<\/a> without much effort. But the ransomware threat landscape is far broader than it seems, especially when you dive into the commodity ransomware scene. This type of ransomware is developed by a group that sells a builder to third-party operators, with no formal agreement or contract between them, unlike the more organized Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this side of the fence, we see countless new products appearing on the cybercrime shelf every day. They’re much harder to track, as victims, strains, infrastructure, and builds often have no direct connection to each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at one of them: Mamona Ransomware. Never heard of it? That\u2019s probably because it\u2019s a new strain but despite its short lifespan, it has already made some noise. It\u2019s been spotted in campaigns run by BlackLock affiliates (who are also linked to Embargo), one of its online builders was exposed and later leaked on the clearnet, and the DragonForce group even stole the main website\u2019s .env file, publishing it on their Dedicated Leak Site on Tor under the headline: \u201cIs this your .env file?\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let\u2019s find out what this is all about. <\/p>\n\n\n
