As the scale and severity of ransomware attacks continue to grow, Elliptic has been monitoring and investigating ransomware groups in order to collect valuable and unique insights into the entire lifecycle of a ransomware attack.

In this webinar, Elliptic’s Co-Founder and Chief Scientist Tom Robinson and Sean Nikkel – Senior CTI Analyst at Digital Shadows – “follow the money” in one specific attack by the REvil ransomware group.
