Dark Web Profile: FunkSec - SOCRadar® Cyber Intelligence Inc.

FunkSec, a new ransomware group, has been active since December 2024, claiming responsibility for numerous attacks on organizations across various industries and geographic regions. Their operations involve both ransomware and hacktivist-style campaigns, utilizing AI-assisted tools and publicly available scripts. While FunkSec’s use of AI and hacktivist ties adds complexity to their operations, their relatively low ransom demands and inexperienced threat actors suggest a focus on establishing their presence rather than significant financial gain.
