Mario Ransomware is a financially motivated cybercriminal ransomware operation, also known as Mario. It has used a Babuk-derived Linux encryptor to target VMware ESXi environments, reflecting reuse of the leaked Babuk ransomware codebase. Mario has also been linked to joint extortion campaigns with the BianLian and White Rabbit ransomware groups, including campaigns directed at financial-services organizations. The group’s known activity indicates ransomware encryption and extortion operations, but the available evidence does not establish a country of origin or a broader, independently attributable victim set.
