In attempts to put pressure on victims, some ransomware gangs are now cold-calling victims on their phones if they suspect that a hacked company might try to restore from backups and avoid paying ransom demands.<\/p>\n

“We’ve seen this trend since at least August-September,” Evgueni Erchov, Director of IR & Cyber Threat Intelligence at Arete Incident Response, told ZDNet <\/em>on Friday.<\/p>\n

Ransomware groups that have been seen calling victims in the past include Sekhmet <\/strong>(now defunct), Maze <\/strong>(now defunct), Conti<\/strong>, and Ryuk<\/strong>, a spokesperson for cyber-security firm Emsisoft told ZDNet <\/em>on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“We think it’s the same outsourced call center group that is working for all the [ransomware gangs] as the templates and scripts are basically the same across the variants,” Bill Siegel, CEO and co-founder of cyber-security firm Coveware, told ZDNet<\/em> in an email.<\/p>\n

Arete IR and Emsisoft said they’ve also seen scripted templates in phone calls received by their customers.<\/p>\n

According to a recorded call made on behalf of the Maze ransomware gang, and shared with ZDNet, <\/em>the callers had a heavy accent, suggesting they were not native English speakers.<\/p>\n

Below is a redacted transcript of a call, provided by one of the security firms as an example, with victim names removed:<\/p>\n

“We are aware of a 3rd party IT company working on your network. We continue to monitor and know that you are installing SentinelOne antivirus on all your computers. But you should know that it will not help. If you want to stop wasting your time and recover your data this week, we recommend that you discuss this situation with us in the chat or the problems with your network will never end.”
<\/em><\/p>\n

Another escalation in ransomware extortion tactics
<\/h3>\n

The use of phone calls is another escalation in the tactics used by ransomware gangs to put pressure on victims to pay ransom demands after they’ve encrypted corporate networks.<\/p>\n

Previous tactics included the use of ransom demands that double in value if victims don’t pay during an allotted time, threats to notify journalists about the victim company’s breach, or threats to leak sensitive documents on so-called “leak sites<\/a>” if companies don’t pay.<\/p>\n

However, while this is the first time ransomware gangs have called victims to harass them into paying, this isn’t the first time that ransomware gangs have called victims.<\/p>\n

In April 2017<\/a>, the UK’s Action Fraud group warned schools and universities that ransomware gangs were calling their offices, pretending to be government workers, and trying to trick school employees into opening malicious files that led to ransomware infections.<\/p>\n
