The author and maintainer of the popular abuse.ch website has realeased a new and interesting project tracking and providing guidence for ransomwear type malware.
Its purpose at this stage of development is:
- Providing an overview on internet infrastructure used by cybercriminals for their Ransomware operations
- Providing hosting- and internet service providers (ISPs), law enforcement agencies (LEA) and national CERTs/CSIRTs intel on such infrastructure within their constituency
- Offering blocklists for internet users, enterprises and antivirus vendors and security solution providers
- Giving internet users and enterprises a brief overview on Ransomware mitigation strategies
I think it’s great that more and more security professionals are developing new tools, sites and research to help mitigate these threats.
