Since then, it dominated the ransomware world, showing similar growth as LockBit once did. <br>Previously linked to North Korea-aligned group <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Andariel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Andariel</span></a>, Play strictly denies operating as <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RaaS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RaaS</span></a>. We found its members utilized RansomHub’s EDR killer EDRKillShifter, multiple times during their intrusions, meaning some members likely became RansomHub affiliates. <br>BianLian focuses on extortion-only attacks and does not publicly recruit new affiliates. Its access to EDRKillShifter suggests a similar approach as Play – having trusted members, who are not limited to working only with them.<br>Medusa, same as RansomHub, is a typical RaaS gang, actively recruiting new affiliates. Since it is common knowledge that affiliates of such RaaS groups often work for multiple operators, this connection is to be expected. <br>Our blogpost also emphasizes the growing threat of EDR killers. We observed an increase in the number of such tools, while the set of abused drivers remains quite small. Gangs such as RansomHub and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Embargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Embargo</span></a> offer their killers as part of the affiliate program.<br>IoCs available on our GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/eset/malware-ioc/tree/master/ransomhub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/eset/malware-ioc/tr</span><span class="invisible">ee/master/ransomhub</span></a></p>
