A malware group called Evil Corp is reportedly back in action, having recently launched a new ransomware which asks its victims to pay a million dollar ransom. The group had previously gone quiet after the U.S. Department of Justice charged some of its members in December 2019.
According to a report published on June 23 by the cybersecurity firm Fox-IT, a division of NCC Group, Evil Corp has been active since 2007 — the group is considered to be one of the biggest cybercrime teams on the internet. They are known for using the Dridex malware and BitPaymet ransomware.
