OTX Bot<p>Gunra Ransomware Emerges with New DLS</p><p>A new ransomware group called Gunra has emerged with a Dedicated Leak Site (DLS) in April 2025. Gunra's code shows similarities to the infamous Conti ransomware, suggesting it may be leveraging Conti's leaked source code. The group employs aggressive tactics, including a time-based pressure technique that forces victims to begin negotiations within five days. Gunra ransomware encrypts files using a combination of RSA and ChaCha20 algorithms, excludes certain folders and file types from encryption, and drops a ransom note named 'R3ADM3.txt'. The ransomware also deletes volume shadow copies to hinder recovery efforts. As the threat of DLS ransomware grows, organizations are advised to implement robust security measures, including regular updates, backups, and user education.</p><p>Pulse ID: 688219586599cc75ec92a318<br>Pulse Link: <a href="https://otx.alienvault.com/pulse/688219586599cc75ec92a318" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">otx.alienvault.com/pulse/68821</span><span class="invisible">9586599cc75ec92a318</span></a> <br>Pulse Author: AlienVault<br>Created: 2025-07-24 11:30:32</p><p>Be advised, this data is unverified and should be considered preliminary.
