What This Report Covers
Snatch is a ransomware-as-a-service threat, first seen in 2018, and the analyzed sample was written in Go. Its most distinctive habit is to reboot the computer into Safe Mode before encrypting, because many default protections do not run there.
The report describes that behavior, the attempt to delete volume shadow copies to block recovery, and the random batch files the malware generates for execution. It also notes the use of common packers such as UPX to hide the payload.
File hashes of the sample and the MITRE ATT&CK techniques are included. A shorter version is in the Snatch ransomware article.
Safe Mode abuse and shadow copy deletion are both steps that defenders can watch for, so the report helps teams tune monitoring on those events. It also shows why offline backups matter, since the malware tries to remove local recovery options.
