Black Basta is a Russia-linked ransomware hacker group that has been observed since early 2022.[1][2][3] It operates as a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) and uses double extortion techniques, whereby data is encrypted and stolen from the victim.[4][5] This data is stolen or published unless the ransom is paid.
Black Basta was the fourth most prolific ransomware strain in 2022.[6] Notable victims of Black Basta include Capita[7], Dish Network[8] and ABB[9]. Total ransoms paid to the group exceeded $100 million by mid 2023.[10][11]
Black Basta is believed to be an offshoot of the Conti ransomware group.[12][13] Analysis of blockchain transactions has uncovered bitcoin worth several million dollars being transferred between wallets controlled by Black Basta and Conti.[14]
