After almost a year and a half, the operators behind the GandCrab Ransomware are shutting down their operation and affiliates are being told to stop distributing the ransomware.
Filling the gaps left behind by the shutdown of large scale ransomware operations such as TeslaCrypt, CryptoWall, and Spora, GandCrab exploded into the ransomware world on January 28th, 2018, when they started marketing their services on underground criminal sites.
Since then, they had become one of the dominant, if not the most dominant, actors in ransomware operations, with their operations only starting to slow down over the past few months.
