Researchers at Acronis have uncovered a ransomware campaign dubbed JanaWare that has been quietly operating since at least 2020, targeting Turkish home users and SMBs. The campaign uses phishing emails to deliver a modified variant of the Adwind Java RAT, which includes geofencing to restrict infections to Turkish-language systems, disables security tools, and deploys a ransomware plugin demanding $200–$400 per victim. While the per-victim payout is small, the high-volume approach generates steady revenue while avoiding the law enforcement scrutiny that larger enterprise attacks attract. Verizon's 2025 DBIR data supports the broader trend: ransomware appears in 88% of SMB breach incidents versus 39% for larger organizations, yet SMB incidents remain vastly underreported, giving the cybersecurity community a skewed picture of the ransomware landscape.
