BlackMatter Ransomware Diduga Tutup karena Desakan Polisi

November 8, 2021 by Eevee

Ransomware BlackMatter diduga menghentikan operasinya karena tekanan dari pihak berwenang dan operasi penegakan hukum baru-baru ini.

BlackMatter mengoperasikan situs web ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) pribadi yang dapat digunakan afiliasi untuk berkomunikasi dengan operator inti, membuka tiket dukungan, dan menerima ransomware baru.

Hari ini, tim riset keamanan VX-Underground mengirim screenshot pesan yang diduga diposting oleh operator BlackMatter pada 1 November di situs webnya. Postingan ini mengingatkan para afiliasi bahwa operasi ransomware ditutup dalam 48 jam.

Kasarnya, artinya sebagai berikut:

Karena keadaan tertentu yang tidak dapat diselesaikan terkait dengan tekanan dari pihak berwenang (sebagian dari tim tidak lagi tersedia, setelah berita terbaru) – proyek ditutup.

Setelah 48 jam, seluruh infrastruktur akan dimatikan, sehingga:

  • Kirim surat ke perusahaan untuk informasi lebih lanjut.
  • Kasih decryptor di roomchat perusahaan, jika perlu.

Sukses selalu. Senang bekerja dengan kalian.

Jika postingan ini resmi dan BlackMatter berhenti beroperasi, bukan berarti oknum-oknum berhenti memeras korban yang ada.

Berdasarkan postingan tersebut, situs RaaS mengijinkan afiliasi untuk menerima decryptor untuk korban yang ada sehingga mereka dapat terus memeras korban.

Kemungkinan kembali sebagai ransomeware baru

Namun, kalau pun BlackMatter menghentikan operasinya, kemungkinan kita akan melihat mereka kembali sebagai grup yang berbeda di masa mendatang.

Ketika geng ransomware dapat tekanan dari penegak hukum, biasanya mereka menutup operasi dan balik lagi dengan nama baru.

BlackMatter sebenarnya adalah citra baru dari operasi DarkSide, yang ditutup setelah menyerang Colonial Pipeline dan ditekan penuh dari penegakan hukum internasional.

Operasi ransomware lain yang telah berganti nama di masa lalu meliputi:

  • REvil ke GandCrab
  • Labirin ke Egregor
  • Bitpaymer ke DoppelPaymer ke Duka
  • Nemty ke Nefilim ke Karma

Ini tinggal masalah waktu saja sampai operator BlackMatter rilis kembali dengan nama yang berbeda.

CyberDict

Afiliasi: Metode pemasaran/bisnis di mana seseorang mendapatkan sejumlah komisi karena berhasil menjual produk perusahaan. Dalam konteks RaaS, oknum memakai jasa BlackMatter sebagai sumber malware untuk disebar, lalu mendapatkan komisi dari korban yang menebus decryptor.

Decyrptor: Kunci untuk membuka data yang telah dienkripsi sehingga bisa diakses si pemilik data.
