A look at the new Sugar ransomware demanding low ransoms

Lawrence Abrams reports:

A new Sugar Ransomware operation actively targets individual computers, rather than corporate networks, with low ransom demands.

First discovered by the Walmart Security Team, ‘Sugar’ is a new Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operation that launched in November 2021 but has slowly been picking up speed.

The name of the ransomware is based on the operation’s affiliate site discovered by Walmart at ‘sugarpanel[.]space’.
