SentinelOne VS CLOP Ransomware – Detect Mode

CL0P^ ransomware emerged in early 2019 and continues to be highly active to this day. Recently, high-profile attacks have highlighted their ongoing campaigns against large enterprises. Malicious payloads are often digitally signed as well as employing multiple controls to avoid analysis. Some CL0P^ are explicitly designed to *not* execute on Russian language systems. As is the case with other prominent ransomware families, CL0P^ will attempt to prevent remediation by removing and otherwise sabotaging Volume Shadow copies. After execution, encrypted files are appended w/ the .Clop extension. Similar to Maze and NetWalker, the actors behind the CL0P^ ransomware have been publicly posting victim data. This practice began in early 2020 and to date there are 15 victims listed on their “blog”.
