Ransomware as a service

Ransomware as a service (RaaS) is a cybercrime business model where ransomware operators write software and affiliates pay to launch attacks using said software.[1] Affiliates do not need to have technical skills of their own but rely on the technical skills of the operators.[2]

The "ransomware as a service" model is a cybercriminal variation of the "software as a service" business model.[3]
