It has been a pretty quiet week with few alleged attacks against corporate victims and mostly new variants of existing ransomware released. The most interesting news is the Conti Ransomware that appears to share the same code as Ryuk and could possibly be its successor. Ryuk has significantly decreased in activity over the past couple of months, while Conti has seen an increase. The ThiefQuest malware, which was discovered last week, may not actually be ransomware according to new findings. The behaviors that have been documented thus far are still accurate, but we no longer believe that the ransom is the actual goal of this malware.
