A new Sugar Ransomware operation actively targets individual computers, rather than corporate networks, with low ransom demands.
First discovered by the Walmart Security Team, 'Sugar' is a new Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operation that launched in November 2021 but has slowly been picking up speed.
The name of the ransomware is based on the operation's affiliate site discovered by Walmart at 'sugarpanel[.]space'.
Unlikely most ransomware operations you read about in the news, Sugar does not appear to be targeting corporate networks but rather individual devices, likely belonging to consumers or small businesses.
As such, it is not clear how the ransomware is being distributed or infecting victims.
