Fatboy ransomware uses a dynamic targeting approach that determines ransom amounts based on the victim's location. This ransomware uses a payment scheme based on The Economist's Big Mac Index (referenced as the "McDonald's Index" in the product description). This means victims in regions with higher costs of living are charged higher amounts to recover their encrypted data.
Flowmon ADS detects communication between infected systems and Fatboy command and control servers.
