Summary
Zeppelin is a ransomware developed in the Delphi programming language. It is sold as part of a ransomware as a service (RaaS) linked to a threat actor we track as Vanilla Tempest, also known as Vice Society.
This ransomware encrypts the data on your disk and can stop you from using your device or accessing your data. It encrypts files, renders them inaccessible, and demands payment for the decryption key.
For information about Zeppelin and other human-operated ransomware campaigns, read this blog post:
There is no one-size-fits-all response if you have been victimized by ransomware. To recover files, you can restore backups. There is no guarantee that paying the ransom will give you access to your files.
