GUEST RESEARCH:  This research, conducted by Bitdefender Labs, presents the first documented analysis of a ransomware campaign attributed to the RedCurl group (also known as Earth Kapre or Red Wolf). RedCurl has historically maintained a low profile, relying heavily on Living-off-the-Land (LOTL) techniques for corporate cyberespionage and data exfiltration. This shift to ransomware marks a significant evolution in its tactics.

GUEST RESEARCH:  Bitdefender has combined information from openly available sources (OSINT) – including news reports and research – with data we gather by analysing Data Leak Portals (DLPs), websites where ransomware groups post details about their victims to develop our March 2025 Threat Debrief. It’s important to remember that we can't independently verify all of these claims, but we can feel quite confident in the trends we see over time.

Ransomware threats increased fourfold during 2024, likely driven by prolific Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) activity, according to Barracuda’s annual review of XDR detection and incident data. Email threats that made it through to user inboxes were the fifth most detected threat overall, highlighting the growing risk of sophisticated and evasive attacks enabled by Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) platforms.
