teslacrypt

TeslaCrypt was a ransomware family that emerged in February 2016, primarily motivated by financial gain through encryption of victim files and ransom demands. The group operated independently rather than as a Ransomware-as-a-Service model, with limited public information available regarding their country of origin or affiliations to other cybercriminal organizations. Based on documented cases, TeslaCrypt primarily targeted government facilities in the United States, though their specific initial access vectors and technical methodologies remain poorly documented in public threat intelligence reporting. The ransomware family had a relatively limited operational scope with only two known documented victims according to available intelligence sources. TeslaCrypt ceased operations and is no longer considered an active threat, with the operators having released master decryption keys in 2016 before disappearing from the threat landscape.
