The report details that Dark Angels, a human-operated ransomware group using Big Game Hunting tactics and Linux/ESXi encryptors, reportedly extorted a record $75 million from a Fortune 50 company in early 2024; Zscaler ThreatLabz and Chainalysis corroborated the payment. It outlines the group's history (since May 2022), evolution of encryptors (Babuk-derived Windows to Ragnar Locker-like Linux), data theft and extortion via the 'Dunghill Leaks' site, and previous high-value demands such as against Johnson Controls.
