Services Recovery Ransomware MKP

🔍 What is MKP Ransomware

According to reports from multiple cybersecurity organizations:

• Makop (also referred to as MKP) is a ransomware family that first appeared around 2020 and remains active with various variants.

• This ransomware encrypts victims’ files and appends a unique extension for each attack (e.g., *.makop, *.gros, *.erif, etc., depending on the variant).

• After encryption, Makop drops a ransom note (commonly readme.txt or info.txt) containing instructions to pay the ransom, usually in cryptocurrency (Bitcoin/Monero).

• Makop operates under a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, meaning the core operators collaborate with affiliates to distribute the ransomware and share the ransom profits.

⚠️ How MKP Spreads / Attack Vectors

🛡 Implications & Impact

• Makop commonly applies double extortion tactics: victims not only lose access to encrypted files but also face the threat of stolen data being leaked publicly if they refuse to pay.

• The ransom demand is usually significant, particularly when targeting organizations with critical data.

• Recovery is highly challenging if backups are not properly maintained or are connected to the main network (and thus also encrypted or deleted).

🛠 Solutions Offered by Recovery Ransomware Indonesia (RRI)

1. Incident Analysis & Digital Forensics. 

• Investigate the infected system: Makop variant, entry points, and attacker’s command sequence.

• Analyze infected files and logs to determine whether data was only encrypted or also exfiltrated.

• Verify if shadow copies were deleted, and check whether offline backups exist.
  
  

2. Data Recovery from Backups

• Identify clean, uncompromised backups.

• Restore data safely (preferably from air-gapped/offline backups).

• Validate data integrity after restoration.
  
  

3. Decryption / Decryptor Tools

• Use available public decryptors (e.g., from the NoMoreRansom Project) if they exist for the specific Makop variant.

• Ensure the decryptor is safe and does not pose additional risks.
  
  

4. Negotiation & Ransom Response Consulting

• Provide expert advice on ransom payment risks, including reputational and legal consequences.

• Coordinate with law enforcement when appropriate.

• Test the validity of decrypted sample files provided by attackers before any negotiation.
  
  

5. System Cleaning & Remediation

• Remove the malware completely, patch exploited vulnerabilities, and secure system configurations.

• Ensure no backdoors remain.

• Strengthen VPNs, activate MFA, and deploy additional security controls.
  
  

6. Preventive Measures

• Cybersecurity awareness training: how to detect phishing and suspicious links.

• Regular patch management and updates for VPNs, firewalls, and endpoints.

• Deploy EDR/XDR solutions to detect suspicious behavior.

• Network segmentation to contain infections.

• Routine data backups using the 3-2-1 rule and periodic recovery testing.
  
  

7. Monitoring & Threat Intelligence

• Monitor for credential theft or data leaks that may indicate further attacks.
