Karakurt is an active, financially motivated extortion group that gains initial access via purchased or brokered credentials and exploited VPN/firewall and server CVEs (including Log4Shell), uses tooling such as Cobalt Strike and Mimikatz to escalate and steal large volumes of data (often >1 TB), then pressures victims with harassment and public exposure demands for Bitcoin ransom payments ranging from ~$25K to millions; US federal agencies published an advisory with exploited vulnerabilities, TTPs, and IOCs to help defenders mitigate and detect activity.
