Qilin Ransomware as a service

Qilin operates as an affiliate program for Ransomware-as-a-Service employing a Rust-based ransomware to target victims. Qilin ransomware attacks are often tailored for each victim to maximize their impact utilizing tactics like altering filename extensions of encrypted files and terminating specific processes and services. The Rust variant is particularly effective for ransomware attacks due to its evasion-prone and hard-to-decipher characteristics making it easier to customize malware for Windows Linux and other operating systems. Importantly the Qilin ransomware group can generate samples for both Windows and ESXi versions
