A newly discovered ransomware gang dubbed RA Group is ramping up its cyberattacks — the latest in a line of threat actors leveraging the leaked Babuk source code. The group distinguishes itself from the rest of the Babuk pack, however, with a highly customized approach.

According to an analysis from Cisco Talos this week, RA Group opened shop on April 22 and has been rapidly expanding its operations ever since. So far, it’s gone after organizations in the US and South Korea in the manufacturing, wealth management, insurance, and pharmaceutical industries.
