Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a direct link between BlackLock and the notorious ransomware group Eldorado, and confirmed that BlackLock is a rebranded version of the earlier threat actor.
After facing increased scrutiny from law enforcement and security experts, Eldorado resurfaced under the BlackLock name, adopting enhanced capabilities while continuing its ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operations.
According to DarkAtlas, BlackLock executed 48 attacks in the first two months of the year. The attacks affected multiple sectors, with construction and real estate firms the most impacted.
