ThreatAI Analysis

Compiled from this incident record and the threat intelligence profile for Mogilevich. Figures and technique mappings are quoted from the source data, not inferred.

About the Mogilevich group

Mogilevich appeared in February 2024, rapidly claiming high-profile breaches of Epic Games, DJI, Shein, and Kick.com, but was quickly exposed as a fraud — the group's operator admitted they were "professional fraudsters" who sold fake breach data and access to a non-existent RaaS panel. Mogilevich has listed 8 victims since February 2024.

Incident Analysis

Bangladesh Police was targeted by Mogilevich ransomware, one of the most active ransomware groups in our database with 8 confirmed victims globally. The attack was disclosed on February 28, 2024, when Bangladesh Police appeared on the group's dark web leak site.

Bangladesh Police is based in Bangladesh , operating in the Public Sector sector. Bangladesh ranks #56 globally for ransomware attacks, with 23 victims in our database.

Sector context: Organisations in this sector hold valuable data and operational systems that ransomware groups seek to exploit for financial gain through encryption and data exfiltration.

Mogilevich typically employs a double extortion model: first exfiltrating sensitive data from the victim's systems, then deploying ransomware to encrypt files. Victims face two simultaneous threats — paying to restore access and paying to prevent publication of stolen data. The group's leak site publishes victim names and exfiltrated data as leverage.

Data source: This incident record is sourced from public ransomware group leak site disclosures aggregated via the ransomware.live API. Disclosure date reflects when the victim was published on the leak site, which may differ from the initial date of compromise. This platform does not publish or link to stolen data.
