ProDraft — a cyber security and intelligence company that monitors incidents of potential cybercrime — said, that since 2020, it had seen data from 567 different companies shared on Conti's extortion site. ProDraft also says its teams have noticed a recent surge in Conti attacks. "Conti has shown itself to be a particularly ruthless group, indiscriminately targeting hospitals, emergency service providers and police dispatchers," the report said. Conti is also offered as a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS). This allows affiliates to use the ransomware as they want, as long as a percentage of the ransom payment is shared with the Conti operators as commission. Research carried out by ProDraft found that, since July 2021, Conti has received more than 500 bitcoin in ransomware payments which, at the time of writing, was worth $32.8 million.
