Sophos uncovers new connections between Hive , Royal and Black Basta ransomware
Over the course of three months beginning in January 2023 , Sophos X-Ops investigated four different ransomware attacks – one involving Hive , two by Royal and one by Black Basta – and noticed distinct similarities between the attacks . Despite Royal being a notoriously closed-off group that doesn ’ t openly solicit affiliates from underground forums , granular similarities in the forensics of the attacks suggest all three groups are sharing either affiliates or highly specific technical details of their activities . Sophos is tracking and monitoring the attacks as a ‘ cluster of threat activity ’ that defenders can use to speed up detection and response times .
“ Because the Ransomware-as-a-Service model requires outside affiliates to carry out attacks , it ’ s not uncommon for there to be crossover in the tactics , techniques and procedures ( TTPs ) between these different ransomware groups ,” said Andrew Brandt , Principal Researcher , Sophos . ophos , a global leader in innovating and delivering

These highly specific , unique behaviours suggest that the Royal ransomware group is much more reliant on affiliates than previously thought . The new insights we ’ ve gained about Royal ’ s work with affiliates and possible ties to other groups speak to the value of Sophos ’ indepth , forensic investigations .”
