Why the Same Ransomware Can Look Completely Different

[FazalGR]

No two assaults are alike because RaaS separates the malware payload from the real breach.

A straightforward phishing email could be the first step in a breach. An open RDP port could be exploited by someone else. A third could make use of a rogue Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) application that blends in well with routine IT administrative tasks. It comes from a completely different route, yet it belongs to the same family of ransomware.

The ransom note's name only reveals what ultimately attacked your machine. It provides no information at all on how the attacker entered your network, what tools they used, or how long they were hiding there.
It is a grave mistake for defenders like providers of professional RMM tools and PSA software to approach ransomware as a single, predictable playbook. If you do, even though all affiliates cash out through the same operator, you will completely overlook the fact that different affiliates employ completely different tools, persistence strategies, and access points.
