According to the RaaS model, the actors behind AvosLocker conduct surveillance before the attack campaign, select their targets based on their ability to pay the requested ransom and shape their attacks accordingly. The threat actors behind AvosLocker also have several underground forums, which could cooperate to reach their goals of Windows Active Directory penetration testing and expert specialists. Additionally, we are looking for people with remote access to the compromised system.
