Dark 101 Ransomware Leverages .NET Binary to Disable Recovery Features

Dark 101 ransomware uses a .NET binary to disable system recovery features, preventing victims from restoring files through built-in Windows recovery mechanisms. This represents a broader trend where ransomware operators are systematically targeting backup and recovery capabilities as part of their attack strategy.

Why it matters: Organizations relying solely on backup restoration as their ransomware defense are exposed to critical risk; practitioners must implement detection and prevention controls earlier in the attack chain to block these threats before recovery mechanisms are compromised.
