Sanctioned Ransomware Groups Finding Ways to Keep Receiving Payments

Ransomware groups that have been sanctioned by the U.S. government are switching their tactics to evade sanctions and continue to receive ransom payments, according to a report released by cybersecurity firm Mandiant. Hackers affiliated with a group known as Evil Corp, which was sanctioned in 2019, have since then changed the types of programs they use to target their victims.
