Retrieving information and disrupting the
cybercrime system
Ransomware isn't a new threat . In fact it's been around for more than 30 years. When
we mark the sixth anniversary of No More Ransom project, it's a great time to assess
whether the threat is still in place. It was launched in the year prior to WannaCry (still
the top of in our rankings) in addition to the IT environment has drastically cha nged
since then.
The No More Ransom initiative is more relevant as it did in the year 2016. The original
aim of the initiative was to restore access to encrypted data however, it now serves a
much more crucial objective - disrupting the cybercrime system.
Modern ransomware is a lot different than in the year 2016. The biggest change came
with the introduction of the profit-sharing business model, referred to as Ransomware-
as-a-Service (RaaS) in 2018. The "business model" is often described as a simple rent
of infrastructure for ransomware, but this isn't the most accurate description.
The largest taxi company in the world does not have any vehicles (Uber). The world's
biggest accommodation provider does not have any properties (AirBnB). The largest
ransomware organizations aren't actually using the ransomware they have

2. developed. Instead, they partner in conjunction with contractors independent of them
(affiliates) and split the profits once the ransom is paid. A lot of people overlook
however, a significant aspect is the ratio of revenue sharing between the ransomware
organization and affiliates. Even though the RaaS group is the one that receives the
highest media focus, the independent affiliates keep the bulk of the earnings (75-90
percent). Over the last couple of years the power has changed from the people who
control the ransomware's code to those who have control over network access and
make use of the networks.
