What it is

This object reflects the ATT&CK Techniques associated with threat actors who deploy BlackSuit, a ransomware capable of running on Windows and Linux systems. BlackSuit is believed to be a successor to Royal, a ransomware operation which itself derives from the notorious Russia-based Conti gang. BlackSuit operations were first observed in May 2023, and although they were relatively low in number, U.S. authorities issued a warning for healthcare sector organizations due to the ransomware's suspected pedigree.<sup>[HC3 Analyst Note BlackSuit Ransomware November 2023]</sup> The number of attacks claimed by BlackSuit operators increased notably in Q2 2024.<sup>[GitHub ransomwatch]</sup>

ATT&CK Techniques associated with the BlackSuit ransomware binary are tracked in a separate "BlackSuit Ransomware" Software object.
