2 threats tracked by Spectrum Delta use this technique.

T1486 on MITRE ATT&CK →

  • Majinahanashi ransomware

    Data encrypted for impact: striped, tuned, low-priority encryption

    EDR/Sysmon file-write telemetry: mass renames to the .MAJIN extension and writes to files, decoy-file modification attempts; the stripe/priority/SSD-HDD tuning details are analyzed capabilities from the primary, not claims about what generic telemetry surfaces

    Seen in: Windows EDR / Sysmon process+file
