Ransomware as a Service (RaaS) is a cybercrime model where ransomware tools are developed and leased out by creators to other criminals, often with minimal technical expertise, for the execution of ransomware attacks. This service-based model mirrors legitimate business practices, making sophisticated cyber-attacks more accessible and widespread.
Ransomware as a Service operates on a model where cybercriminals lease out sophisticated ransomware tools, enabling even those with minimal technical skills to launch complex attacks.
Development and Hosting: Experienced cybercriminals develop ransomware software, often with user-friendly interfaces, and host them on hidden services, like dark web marketplaces.
Subscription or Profit-Sharing Models: Affiliates, who are the end-users of these tools, either subscribe for a regular fee or agree to a profit-sharing model where a portion of the ransom payments is given to the RaaS developers.
Deployment and Execution: Affiliates then deploy the ransomware through various methods such as phishing emails, exploiting network vulnerabilities, or using other malware.
Ransom Negotiation and Collection: Once the target's data is encrypted, a ransom demand is issued. RaaS platforms sometimes include support for negotiations and secure collection of payments, usually in cryptocurrencies.
Attackers utilize Ransomware as a Service (RaaS) for its simplicity, profitability, and reduced need for technical expertise, making it a popular choice in the cybercrime arena. Attackers choose RaaS because of its:
