**AzzaSec (AzzaSecurity)** is an Italian-led hacktivist group active February–August 2024 that developed AzzaSec/AnonCry ransomware and offered it via a RaaS model; analysis links their samples to NoCry-derived families (BlackSkull, GhosHacker, Anonymous). Their encryptor appends .AzzaSec/.AzzaSec_Encryptor, uses AES combined with SHA-512, demanded small ransoms (commonly under $100, up to $600 in samples), and the group showed alignment with pro‑Russian actors and DDoS-capable campaigns.
