VirusTotal's RANSOMWARE IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT, Oct 2021
This repository serves as an archive of publicly available reports/whitepapers/articles related to Ransomware. This might be useful for researchers as a reference as I didn't find a central repository containing these reports.
This repo is inspired from threat-INTel and APTnotes.
The content in this repository contains detailed analysis of the ransomware and not non-technical blogs about the ransomware like from Zdnet, Dark Reading, etc.
Special thanks to Group-IB whose pictures are extensively used here.
