Ransomware is one of the most prominent cybersecurity threats today, often spreading via phishing emails, malicious links, infected attachments, or exploiting software vulnerabilities. It is a type of malware designed to block access to files, data, or entire systems until a ransom is paid, usually in cryptocurrency. Beyond the financial impact, ransomware causes operational disruption and long-term reputational damage. The frequency and scale of ransomware attacks have surged in recent years.

Defenders often discuss security vulnerabilities on GitHub, Stack overflow, X (formerly Twitter), and other platforms to share knowledge of these threats and ensure users know when patches are available. Cybercriminals have a similar process, choosing to share vulnerability news, exploit code, and engage in technical discussions on cybercriminal forums. However, in contrast to defenders, these threat actors share this knowledge for the purpose finding unpatched systems and exploiting them.
