The operators of the emerging cross-platform BianLian ransomware have increased their command-and-control (C2) infrastructure this month, a development that alludes to an increase in the group’s operational tempo.
BianLian, written in the Go programming language, was first discovered in mid-July 2022 and has claimed 15 victim organizations as of September 1, cybersecurity firm [redacted] said in a report shared with The Hacker News.
It’s worth noting that the double extortion ransomware family has no connection to an Android banking trojan of the same name, which targets mobile banking and cryptocurrency apps to siphon sensitive information.
