Betruger Backdoor: How RansomHub is Redefining Ransomware Strategies

RansomHub, a ransomware-as-a-service operation, has been deploying a custom backdoor named Betruger. This multi-functional malware consolidates capabilities such as keylogging, network scanning, credential dumping, and privilege escalation into a single tool, minimizing the need for multiple attack components. By masquerading under benign filenames like “mailer.exe,” Betruger evades detection, enhancing the stealth of ransomware attacks. This development underscores the evolving sophistication of ransomware tactics, highlighting the necessity for robust cybersecurity measures.
