HellCat Ransomware: What You Need To Know www.tripwire.com/state-of-…

What is HellCat?

HellCat is the name of a relatively new ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) group that first came to prominence in the second half of 2024. Like many other ransomware operations, HellCat breaks into organisations, steals sensitive files, and encrypts computer systems - demanding a ransom payment for a decryption key and to prevent the leaking of stolen files.

So it’s your typical “double extortion” threat?

Yes, although HellCat has been known to take a rather unusual twist on things when it comes to plying on the pressure.
