BlackByte ransomware was first observed in July 2021 and operates as a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS). It uses a double-extortion model—encrypting victim files while exfiltrating sensitive data for publication on its Tor-based leak site. The ransomware is written in C# and uses AES-256 for file encryption, with keys protected by RSA public-key encryption. Early variants exploited the ProxyShell vulnerability in Microsoft Exchange servers for initial access, but later campaigns have leveraged phishing, malicious attachments, and vulnerable internet-facing systems. BlackByte appends extensions such as .blackbyte or .blackbyte2.0 to encrypted files and leaves ransom notes (BlackByte_restoremyfiles.txt) instructing victims to contact them via Tor. The group has targeted organizations worldwide, including critical infrastructure, manufacturing, and government sectors. In February 2022, the FBI and USSS released a joint advisory warning about BlackByte’s impact and offering detection signatures.
