Analyst brief
Avos is a criminal group operating the AvosLocker ransomware under the RaaS (Ransomware-as-a-Service) model since June 2021. They target critical infrastructure sectors, including financial services, manufacturing, and government, primarily in the US and over a dozen other countries. Their TTPs involve ransomware deployment, likely coupled with data theft for double extortion. Defenders should focus on vulnerability management in critical systems, robust network segmentation, and regular offline backup verification.
