About DragonForce

DragonForce, also known as DragonLeaks, is a new ransomware operation that first appeared on the scene in early December 2023. As of mid-January, not much is known about this ransomware or the group responsible for creating and disseminating it. The gang has a dark web data leak site that is also known as DragonLeaks. It claims to encrypt victim systems and exfiltrate data. Therefore, they are categorized as a crypto-ransomware and data broker group. They have also been known to take part in direct and double extortion attacks, and if the victims fail to pay, then they release the data for free (Free Data Leaks). Researchers believe the gang is a hacktivist group out of Malaysia. It has claimed several high-profile attacks to date, but it is too young for investigative agencies to have a clear understanding of its systems, structures, tactics, and history.
