The threat actors behind the ransomware hacking into companies network and steals the sensitive data, once the data exfiltrated they encrypt all the files.

Attackers follow this method to avoid manually or sandbox analysis, also the group has an “Egregor news” website, hosted on the deep web to leak stolen data.
“Egregors’ ransom note also says that aside from decrypting all the files in the event the company pays the ransom, they will also provide recommendations for securing the company’s network, “helping” them to avoid being breached again, acting as some sort of black hat pentest team.”
