payloadbin

According to ransomware.live, PayloadBIN is a ransomware strain deployed in 2021 by Evil Corp as a rebranding of their WastedLocker/Hades/Phoenix lineage, specifically designed to evade US Treasury OFAC sanctions by impersonating the unrelated Babuk gang's rebrand rather than operating as an independent group.
