Microsoft-tracked intelligence shows Scattered Spider (aka Octo Tempest) shifting from ALPHV/BlackCat to newer ransomware families such as RansomHub and Qilin, while RansomHub has rapidly become widespread and claimed high-profile victims (e.g., Christie’s, Frontier, Rite Aid). The report also highlights newly observed ransomware variants (Fog, FakePenny), continuing market disruption following ALPHV/BlackCat and LockBit activity, and involvement of state-linked groups like Moonstone Sleet in recent deployments.
