RAMP, short for “Ransom Anon Market Place,” was a prominent Russian-language cybercrime forum focused on the ransomware ecosystem. It emerged in 2021 after other major underground forums restricted or banned ransomware-related activity, and it became a hub for ransomware operators, affiliates, malware developers, and initial access brokers. The platform facilitated leaked-data auctions, malware rentals, and access brokerage, supporting multiple stages of criminal intrusion and extortion operations. RAMP is closely associated with the alias Orange, identified as the forum’s founder. Reporting has linked Orange with other personas including Wazawaka, Boriselcin, TetyaSluha, Biba99, and Uhodiransomwar, and further tied those aliases to Russian national Mikhail Pavlovich Matveev. Through these overlapping identities, RAMP was connected to the broader Babuk ransomware milieu and related extortion activity. The same cluster of personas was also associated with promotion of ransomware affiliate programs, publication of stolen victim data, solicitation of exploits for VPN vulnerabilities, and participation in other ransomware operations including LockBit and DarkSide. RAMP functioned as criminal infrastructure rather than a single intrusion set. Its role in the ecosystem was to enable initial access sales, post-compromise monetization, data-leak operations, and coordination among ransomware actors. The forum supported extortion-centric activity and served as a marketplace for services used before and after network compromise. U.S. law enforcement later seized RAMP’s clearnet and dark web domains as part of broader disruption efforts targeting ransomware-supporting infrastructure.
