How cops taking down LockBit, ALPHV led to RansomHub's meteoric rise

RansomHub is a Russia-linked ransomware collective that emerged in early 2024, quickly recruiting affiliates from defunct groups and using repurposed Knight code and double-extortion tactics to compromise and extort hundreds of organizations; the group claimed 210 victims within six months and accounted for a growing share of ransomware incidents, drawing attention from FBI, CISA, and security firms while posing a significant ongoing threat due to its affiliate-friendly revenue model and aggressive leak-site publishing.
