HellCat Ransomware: What You Need To Know | Tripwire

HellCat is a ransomware-as-a-service group that emerged in 2024, employing a “double extortion” tactic by stealing sensitive data and encrypting systems. The group gained attention for demanding part of a ransom from Schneider Electric in baguettes, though the company did not disclose payment. HellCat has targeted organizations like Israel’s parliament and Jordan’s Ministry of Education, and there is currently no public decryption tool for their ransomware.
