Cl0p ransomware deployment: shadow copy deletion followed by mass file encryption on compromised PLM host
Detects potential Cl0p ransomware activity by correlating the deletion of Volume Shadow Copies or backup catalogs with a subsequent burst of file creation, modification, or renaming activity on the same device. This behavior is indicative of ransomware preparing to encrypt files by inhibiting system recovery, followed by the mass encryption stage, while filtering out known administrative and legitimate software update activity.
