Vexday analysis

O Medusa Group atua desde pelo menos 2021, tendo iniciado suas operações como um grupo fechado de ransomware antes de evoluir para um modelo de Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS); alguns relatos indicam que determinados ataques ainda são conduzidos diretamente pelos desenvolvedores centrais do malware. O grupo é também referenciado publicamente pelos aliases "Spearwing" e "Medusa Actors". Em suas operações, emprega técnicas de living-off-the-land, fazendo uso frequente de ferramentas publicamente disponíveis e softwares comuns de gerenciamento remoto, além de adotar táticas de dupla extorsão mediante exfiltração de dados. O grupo possui 57 técnicas documentadas no MITRE ATT&CK (identificador G1051) e 4 CVEs atribuídas como parte de seu repertório de exploração.
