In this episode we get insight into the anatomy of an attack and its impact on a business which believed its security apparatus was well prepared.

Meet Gregory Industries, a midsized fifth generation business in middle America. In April, 2021 they were the victims of a ransomware attack perpetrated by the group DarkSide. DarkSide represents the growing proliferation of what is known as Ransomware As A Service (RAAS).

These services enable malicious actors to outsource the development, distribution and execution of ransomware payloads thus lowering the barrier of entry for more gangs. As a result, the web-ensnaring victims network is expanding dramatically and the number of ransomware gangs is seemingly growing exponentially.
