There are large numbers of ransomware groups operating around the world, some of which have been conducting their nefarious work for years. There are older which are rather less long in the tooth, such as the recently formed SatanLock.
The group has been in existence for mere months, popping up in April this year. Responsible for a spate of attacks over a number of weeks, the ransomware group has announced that it is already shutting up shop. More than this, it plans to leak any data it has stolen.
Noted for the speed and ferocity of its attacks, the SatanLock group has claimed dozens of victims in its short existence. The reasons for the closure are not known, but the news was shared on the group’s dark web site, as Hackread notes.
