Called “Zeppelin,” the malware is the latest addition to the Delphi-based family of Ransomware-as – a-Service (RaaS) Vega (VegaLocker), which also includes versions such as Jamper, Storm, Buran, and more. Vega was initially observed targeting Russian users in early 2019. In contrast to the large-scale Vega campaign, the Zeppelin attacks have been aimed at aborting the infection process if the machine is in Russia or former USSR countries. The first Zeppelin samples have time stamps to begin compiling on November 6, 2019 and demonstrate that it can be used in an EXE, DLL, or even bundled in a PowerShell loader....

The concept is known as “big data” emerged due to advances in mass storage and mobile computing. These advances opened the way for solutions and resources to handle vast volumes of data in real-time.

Moreover, information security has undergone a dramatic paradigm change away from conventional perimeter defense techniques and tracking and detecting suspicious activity within corporate networks....

As part of the WIP project, Microsoft encourages qualifying researchers to identify bugs in the Windows Insider Preview Dev Channel, with general incentives ranging from $500 for denial-of – service (DoS) problems to $5,000 for remote code execution flaws. Today, however, there are five examples for attacks that can reward researchers between $20,000 and $100,000. The full bounty is awarded to show a remote attack in which an unauthenticated attacker performs non-sandboxed execution of arbitrary code without any user interaction....

Attacking SMB servers demands that the attacker send different packets to the network. The attacker has to convince the target user to connect to a compromised SMBv3 server for customers....
