Evil Corp blocked from deploying ransomware on 30 major US firms

The Evil Corp gang was blocked from deploying WastedLocker ransomware payloads in dozens of attacks against major US corporations, including Fortune 500 companies. The group was involved in the distribution of the Dridex malware toolkit later used to also deliver other threat actors’ malware payloads, as well as Locky ransomware and their own ransomware known as BitPaymer until 2019. Only one of the 31 large private companies that were targeted was not a US company but instead a US-based subsidiary of an overseas multinational.
