Today, BleepingComputer was told by cyber intelligence firm  KeLa  that the Maze operators added the information and files for an international architectural firm to their data leak site.
What made this leak different was that the info was not from a Maze ransomware attack, but rather by another enterprise-targeting ransomware operation  known as LockBit .
Ransomware gangs are teaming up to extort victims through a shared data leak platform, and the exchange of tactics and intelligence. 
In November 2019, the Maze Ransomware operators transformed ransomware attacks into data breaches after they  released unencrypted data  of a victim who refused to pay.
Soon after, they launched a dedicated “Maze News” site used to shame their unpaid victims by publicly releasing stolen data.
This extortion tactic was quickly adopted by other groups, which now includes thirteen active  ransomware operations known to leak stolen data  if not paid.
The Maze gang is once again stirring up the threat landscape by creating a cartel of ransomware operations to share resources and extort their victims.
Threat actors are constantly coming out with new strains to evade detection. Is your network effective in blocking all of them when employees fall for social engineering attacks?
