Royal/BlackSuit

Also known asRoyal/BlackSuit

BlackSuit is a ransomware threat actor/group referenced in the provided content as part of the Royal/BlackSuit ransomware cluster. The content notes that abuse of ConnectWise/ScreenConnect matched documented TTPs of Black Basta affiliates and Royal/BlackSuit ransomware groups, citing CISA AA24-131A. In the analyzed reporting, an Amadey botnet campaign tagged fbf543 used legitimate remote management and monitoring tools from ConnectWise, DattoRMM, Atera, GoToResolve, and N-able as persistent backdoors, alongside credential theft, RAT deployment, redundant RMM persistence, and monetization. Breakglass Intelligence assessed the operator profile as consistent with an Initial Access Broker or ransomware affiliate playbook, which aligns with the mention context linking the activity to Royal/BlackSuit ransomware groups. The campaign delivered numerous follow-on payloads including Vidar, LummaStealer, XWorm, QuasarRAT, AsyncRAT, DarkVisionRAT, Smoke Loader, and a CoinMiner signed with a stolen AnyDesk certificate. The actor used stock, validly signed vendor installers pre-configured to connect to attacker-controlled relay infrastructure, including self-hosted domains, abused ConnectWise cloud instances, and a Seychelles-based bulletproof hosting IP. Alias directly present in the content: royal_blacksuit.
