EKANS, also known as Snake, is a ransomware family and associated threat activity cluster known for encrypting victim systems and inhibiting recovery by removing Volume Shadow Copy backups. It has been observed among ransomware operations targeting organizations in Japan. Reported victim sectors in that context included manufacturing, construction, and government-related organizations, though attribution at the individual-victim level is limited. A documented behavior of EKANS is deletion of Volume Shadow Copies to prevent restoration of encrypted data, reflecting defense-evasion and post-compromise impact tradecraft typical of financially motivated ransomware operations.
