Security News > 2021 > September > REvil ransomware gang may be back in town

Sites used by the infamous cybercrime group have mysteriously come back to life.

Following a two-month disappearing act in which its internet-faced servers went offline, the REvil ransomware group has popped up again.

This could be a sign that the group itself is back in business and starting to reactivate its core sites.

It could mean that former members of REvil are trying to reawaken under different groups and are collecting data from these sites.

Garnering a name for itself as a dangerous and destructive ransomware group, REvil was most recently responsible for a devastating attack against enterprise IT firm Kaseya.

REvil is a Russia-based group reportedly linked to the Russian government or at least operating with its tacit permission.
