| Verdict: | Malicious activity |
| Threats: | BlackMatter is a ransomware strain operating as a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS), designed to encrypt files, remove recovery options, and extort victims across critical industries. Emerging in 2021, it quickly became a major concern due to its ability to evade defenses, spread across networks, and cause large-scale operational disruption, forcing security teams to act against a highly destructive and persistent threat. |
