Snatch Ransomware is a type of ransomware that operates on a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) model. It first appeared in 2018 and has been known to target various critical infrastructure sectors, including Defense Industrial Base, Food and Agriculture, and Information Technology. Snatch threat actors employ tactics such as data exfiltration and double extortion, where they threaten to publish stolen data if the ransom is not paid.

Organizations can enhance their cybersecurity posture by implementing several measures. These include securing and monitoring Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), enforcing phishing-resistant multifactor authentication (MFA), and conducting regular audits of remote access tools. Additionally, maintaining offline backups of sensitive data and adhering to strong password policies can significantly reduce the impact of ransomware incidents.

Indicators of compromise (IOCs) for Snatch Ransomware include unusual email domains used for communication with victims, unexpected RDP access attempts, and the presence of specific executable files that may attempt to disable antivirus software. Organizations should monitor their networks for these signs and review logs for any abnormal activity to detect potential threats early.
