Conti EUROPE AND EURASIA

Malicious cyber actors known by their online aliases of “Target,” “Reshaev,” “Professor,” “Tramp,” and “Dandis” are believed to be linked to the Conti ransomware group.

Conti (also known as Wizard Spider), is a Russian government-linked ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) group that has targeted U.S. and Western critical infrastructure. After Russian military forces invaded neighboring Ukraine in February 2022, Conti ransomware operators pledged support to the Russian government and threatened critical infrastructure organizations of countries perceived to carry out cyberattacks or war against the Russian government.
