Will the REvil Story Finally be Over?

Posted on October 25, 2021 by Dissent

Victoria Kivilevich writes that even if REvil is gone,  the trend is still to increasing ransomware attacks.

In June 2021, the last month of REvil’s full-time activities, 205 victims were published on ransomware blogs and data leak sites. Meanwhile, in August 2021, a full month after the group’s disappearance, 248 victims were published on the same platforms. Moreover, 251 victims were claimed in September 2021.
