Clop, also known as Cl0p, is a notorious ransomware group responsible for several high-profile cyberattacks. The group specializes in exploiting vulnerabilities in software and systems to gain unauthorized access, exfiltrate sensitive data, and then extort victims by threatening to release the stolen information. Notably, Clop does not typically encrypt or delete data on the targeted servers; instead, it focuses solely on data theft and subsequent extortion. Some of its most significant attacks include the breach of major North Carolina hospitals and the exposure of approximately 632,000 US federal employees' email addresses. Around May 27, 2023, Clop launched a massive supply-chain attack against users of MOVEit, a secure file transfer software developed by Progress Software. The group exploited a zero-day vulnerability in the software, enabling them to steal data stored by organizations using MOVEit. This campaign, which seemed to run for only a few days, was likely highly automated and resulted in the group extorting hundreds of victims with the promise not to release the stolen data. The Clop group has also been involved in other notable incidents, including the MGM hack and MOVEit attacks, where they attempted to correct what they perceived as inaccuracies in media coverage of their activities. In one instance, they exploited a zero-day vulnerability in SysAid, another software platform. The group's persistent and adaptable approach to cyberattacks continues to pose a significant threat to organizations worldwide.
