**Gentlemen** RaaS actively develops and fields multiple EDR-killer tools (e.g., BYOVD, API-based process termination, service disruption, token impersonation) to blind endpoint defenses prior to ransomware deployment, has claimed roughly 478 victims by mid-2026, and leverages SystemBC for relay infrastructure; the report advises multi-layer detection, tamper protection, vulnerable driver monitoring, and privileged access hardening.
