Ransomware Maze

This McAfee technical analysis documents the Maze ransomware (aka ChaCha), describing its goals of encrypting files and extorting victims by threatening data publication, its propagation methods (exploit kits, malicious Office macros, weak RDP), sophisticated anti-analysis/anti-debugging techniques, ChaCha+RSA encryption process, runtime behaviors (mutex, language checks, shadow-copy deletion), associated IOCs (multiple Russian-hosted IPs, mazedecrypt.top, and a YARA rule), and recommended mitigations such as isolated backups, updated AV/patching, disabling unnecessary RDP and Office macros.
