Verdict: Malicious activity
Threats:

Mallox is a ransomware strain that emerged in 2021, known for its ability to encrypt files and target database servers using vulnerabilities like RDP. Often distributed through phishing campaigns and exploiting exposed SQL servers, it locks victims' data and demands a ransom. Mallox operates as a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS), making it accessible to affiliates who use it to conduct attacks.
