  • Mamona executes quietly, never touches the internet, and erases itself, making it hard to detect
  • A three-second delay followed by self-deletion helps Mamona evade detection rules
  • Ransomware behavior blends in with normal activity, delaying security team response

Security researchers are tracking Mamona, a newly identified ransomware strain that stands out for its stripped-down design and quiet, local execution.

Experts from Wazuh say this ransomware avoids the usual reliance on command-and-control servers, opting instead for a self-contained approach that slips past tools dependent on network traffic analysis.
