A new Ransomware-as-a-Service called Jokeroo is being promoted on underground hacking sites and via Twitter that allows affiliates to allegedly gain access to a fully functional ransomware and payment server.
A Ransomware-as-a-Service is when a developer creates a ransomware and a payment site and allows affiliates to sign up and distribute the ransomware. As part of this deal, the affiliates and the developer will split the payments that are received from victims.
According to a malware researcher named
Damian, the Jokeroo RaaS first started promoting itself as a GandCrab Ransomware RaaS on the underground hacking forum Exploit.in.
