Paradise

Description

Paradise is a ransomware family whose source code leaked on hacking forums in 2021, and researchers have since published analyses of its builder. Distributors have delivered it through exploitation of vulnerabilities in the AweSun remote access product and through IQY files, and a free decryption tool emerged in 2020. Later families such as Rapture show similarities to Paradise, which indicates the code base continued to influence new strains.
