Ransomware Affiliate Model Definition: The ransomware affiliate model is the RaaS profit-sharing structure where operators build ransomware and affiliates deploy it against victims.
The ransomware affiliate model is the partner-program structure underpinning Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS), in which a core developer group builds and maintains the ransomware and supporting infrastructure while independent 'affiliates' carry out the intrusions and deploy the payload. Profits from successful extortion are split between the operators and affiliates, often 70-80% to the affiliate. This division of labor lets less-skilled attackers run ransomware campaigns and dramatically scales the volume of attacks.
Ransomware Affiliate Model is one of the topics you'll master in the CEH Boot Camp.
